Do not even the tax collectors do the same?  And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?  Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect." - Matthew 5:43-48Has it really reached the point where this sort of thing isn't known?What I find really strange is you jumping up and down saying how we ought to first have sympathy for the victims of moral panics.  Did you ever consider from what I've said so far that I might be among those victims you demand we have sympathy for?</blockquote>
