I have not participated in so many of these threads - the election, gay rights, abortion etc. etc. because it's hard to stop with just one statement. But now I just have to wonder about the term I'm reading/hearing all over the place about how "family values" are first and foremost in everyones mind right now. "Family Values"?? I don't know about some of you (some I do) but in my family (weird as it is/was) we believe in tolerance, acceptance, forgiveness, love and kindness to the less fortunate, individual rights. Well, I could go on but don't speak of "family values" as if yours is the only one that matters if for whatever reason your FAMILY does not have the same values as mine. Good for you, but that doesn't make mine wrong. Heavy sigh:
