Guess I shoulda cited my first post there. Here is a decent report on precisely why the belief that there is a Kohanic genetic haplotype is misguided (or, at the very least, overstated): <a href="http://www.ariga.com/genes.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.ariga.com/genes.sht...</a> You can see also: <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2002/07/14/bools14.xml&sSheet=/arts/2002/07/14/bomain.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/art...</a> Okay. Now I feel I've at least been responsible with my flame. ;O) Sorry. Guess I shoulda cited my first post there.

I don't actually bother to protest the war anymore, because this sort of insanity speaks more than my protests. If the soldiers aren't even allowed to masturbate and the enlistments get longer because are no reinforcements they will become more and more disenchated with Bush. I never thought Bush's popularity would go below 20% but I now think this is highly likely. As for evangelicalisms(in reality the religious right) growth. Well, there was a scandal a couple of years ago in the SBC(Southern Baptists Convention) because it turned out that they still count members that have left them in their numbers. They haven't changed this practice. I doubt they are growing nearly as much as they claim. I am sure they would love to have this growth because it is the only way they can sucker people in to voting for George nowadays. The evangelicals are his only loyal consituancy. on soldiers and condoms. I don’t actually bother to protest the war anymore, because this sort of insanity speaks more than my protests.
