Well, to be perfectly honest, I have wondered for some time now just exactly
what is meant by the term "Moral Majority". Does this term imply an "Immoral
Minority"? Is someone (???) suggesting that there is a majority of people
in this country that agree upon a moral doctrine? Certainly, that is an
absurdity. We can't even get a majority of people to vote for a president.
I could see where, perhaps, there are some moral attitudes that a majority
of people agree with. 

As for your question jane, yes, I have.

              There is no place to seek the mind; 
                It is like the footprints of the birds in the sky.
