Capitalism is but one element of freedom and liberty. A recognition of inalienable rights is a much greater enabler of independent women than the single component, capitalism. In regard to dress, behavior, career, and sexual orientation, the demoralizing effects of a socialistic statist theocracy has had a much greater effect than capitalism.  -- Mike, Norwalk      2

Historically, the nobility of the American Experiment, even as as it relates to the experience of the nation's women, has been predicated upon, primarily, the civilizing influence of Judeo Christian instruction, particularly that of Reform Christianity.  -- Patrick Henry, Red Hill      4
Patrick, well said.  -- Mike, Norwalk      1
To Paglia: What has sexual orientation got to do with anything? Are you referring to perversion?  -- David W Sylvester, Searsport      1
