Dear Eric Wattree: 
 
When you say that "the rest of us should mind our own business and attend to our own marriages," the argument could be made that you should mind your own column and leave mine alone. And, of course, it could be said that you should stop judging me, as you suggest I'm judging gays. But, I won't make these arguments. I welcome your comments, no matter how myopic and misleading they may be. 
 
Nor will I say 'your hypocrisy knows no bounds,' to borrow a line from a popular movie. But I will ask you several questions. In your previous post you wrote: "If you're against gay marriage, then don't marry a homosexual--it's as simple as that." Does this mean that when you say that one shouldn't 'play with other people's spouses that you yourself shouldn't do it and stay out of the business of others who do?  
 
When you complain that 'Bush is going to the other side of the world killing people' can it be said that you should just worry about not killing anyone on the other side of the world yourself and stay out of Bush's business? Again, I'm not calling you a hypocrite. I am, however, interested in your answers. 
 
You also wrote, "Moses must have come down from the mountain before God was done." Well, I won't grace this comment with a response.  
 
It's almost amusing that you characterize me as 'judging' gays. I've done no such thing. God has judged our gay brothers and lesbian sisters. And what's wonderful about it is that we all have time to clean up our act. 
 
Finally, you actually haven't commented on the article itself. You know, I put a lot of time and research into it, and you have yet to quote one word that I've said (and I said a lot!) My friend, your pontification at times is laborious. Please, ADDRESS MY ARGUMENTS (excuse the emphasis), and rise above the false accusations and petty name calling. I believe you're better that. I look forward to your response. 
 
Respectfully, 
 
Dr. Firpo Carr 
(Still, just the messenger, small "m")
