I hate to attempt a serious post but you've beaten this point into the ground, Doc. I doubt there are any advocates of **** on this forum.
Your wife is doing a good thing. Maybe it's driving her into "black and white", "you're either for me or against me" thinking. Then people will accuse her of being as much of a Manichee as they accused Bush.
But maybe that's a good thing.
In any case, if I go to certain areas of my fair city at certain times of night, there is a high likelihood I will get shot. It's wrong and evil and in the name of justice and all that is holy this should be changed.
But if I have an ounce of common sense I won't put myself into that situation, don't you think?
