Here's a thought..
'The extreme thoughts you express today create the bills you have to pay tomorrow'.
I read this in a paper today and it seems very appropriate to this clip and some of the comments.

Yea, I mean if I lobbied for human rights, does that mean I'm on the human rights side? Who the fuck would oppose that.

I love this. West Wing is so well written and this video has some amazing points. People pick and choose from the bible based on what makes them feel comfortable. And then when they are confronted they get pissed off and defensive, but they never can explain why homosexuality is still wrong but wearing two different cloths, or using indoor plumbing{god told moses it is a sin to take a dump in city limits} or anything else are okay these days...

If you HAVE to believe Homosexuality is an abomination in order to believe killing is wrong, then there is no hope for you.

Why? Why can't a TV show be meaningful? We allow books to be meaningful, poetry...

Someone put pen to paper to come up with these lines. They are powerful lines. TV doesn't change that.

Not sure how to reply.....your ID site looks like you're a bit intense.

Are you on the side of the scriptwriters, the christian fundamentalists or the gay lobby...?

How is what "side" I'm on relevant to my comment?

I respect good writing wherever I find it. It was all over the first four seasons of the West Wing. Don't call it "graffiti" because it aired at 9pm on Wensdays.

And "Gay" is not a lobby. There are gay activists who champion gay rights, but that is not the same as a lobby.

...a couple of issues:
1. Whose/what side you're on explains your perspective.
2. I like good writing and TV entertainment too, But I don't grab slices of fictional TV figures' opinions to use as a moral code.
3. I referred to it as graffiti in so much as it's from TV programme, no more - no less, it's not reality.
4. If Britney Spears or Homer Simpson, for example is 'aired' at 9pm on Wednesdays.....does that make her thoughts just as meaningful..?
