[Rhodes22-list] Re: Politics

[Wally Buck]

Herb,

I know some books are banned because of Politcal Correctness but it seems to 
me the religous right is uaually behind most school book bans. Current 
administration also pushed the Patriot Act. One may either be for or against 
the Patriat Act but I think both sides can agree it does diminish our 
rights.

I agree that name calling and labels done help either side.
