I disagreed with MA on only one occasion that I recall

alcaray — 9/9/2004 11:37:48 PM (archived)

It was about the source of "gayness". I handled our disagreement the way I would with any of you (assuming you would have been as polite as MA): once I was sure she understood my position, and I understood hers, and we still disagreed, that was the end of it as far as I was concerned.

Actually, I remember another spot where we differ: she (sorry to keep referring to you in the 3rd person, in case you are monitoring), is a lot more sensitive to demonstrations of religion than I am. ["demonstrations of religion" is a really bad way to express what I'm trying to say, but nothing better comes to mind.] It is not something I have really strong feelings about (and I certainly don't have particularly negative feelings towards anything she has said on the subject). So there won't be a debate.

Anyway, why do you think liberals would disagree with MA? Should we not have similar, liberal views?
