Well, I'm not sure but I believe I've seen intelligent debate on both
sides of this "Evil vs. Good" issue, in which neither party sunk to
petty name-calling. Is it the fact that some don't believe in what you
believe in that makes them "close-minded", I wonder? If you really
respected what someone else believed would you say "Well, you're just a
bigot. You are so close-minded! Whereas WE respect EVERYONE". I hate to
be so candid but perhaps if that is the case you don't have a clear
perception of what "open-mindedness" and "respect" truly are. Let's not
point fingers as there are people on both sides of THAT line who lower
themselves to the level of petty insults. Let's just remember, insulting
someone is usually a reflection that you have nothing more intelligent
to say.

And yes, I screwed up the title of this post. You are all free to tease
me mercilessly.
