I have (and will likely conto)ue to) stay out of this argument as I am
of two minds on this issue, but this particular statement deserves
some comment. It is NOT up to you, Randell Jesup, to decide what is
moral and what is not. I concede the illegality of the situation but I
will decide for myself (as everybody must do for THEMSELVES) the
morality of the situation.
