Reply #13: Good point. Hadn't thought of that....

Like I said, I'm fairly agnostic on the issue. And when I'm agnostic on an issue, I usually tend to go with the immediate, heart driven, liberal response since those instincts of mine have proven far more valuable and are typically far more erring on the side of compassion. Which in this case is why I said "not acceptable" in terms of the poll.

On the other hand certain issues (like this one) I can't say that I don't see some elements of the other side of the argument even if it's not where I ultimately come down.
