yes, Catwoman......the piece is completely from the Houston Chronicle, not edited in any way, AND I posted the link to the piece as well, so I think I have to say that you ARE fishing a bit. Didn't you even check the link first?
It's the pits when the facts just don't seem to line up with your preconceived ideas, isn't it? ;-)
edited for: danged typo.......and to say that I don't believe I have EVER posted something here and attempted to "edit" it to change or alter the meaning and content of the piece, while I might certainly only excerpt portions of it, to illustrate a point I am trying to make. I also try to post a link to the complete item, especially if I don't put the entire piece in my post, so that people can go directly to the source and read the entire thing.
I don't "take liberties".
So, I am somewhat annoyed that it sounds as though you are accusing me of altering it because somehow it doesn't fit YOUR idea of how the Chronicle would feel about this issue, AND not even bothering to click on the link to read the piece yourself first.
As you'll note, by reading the article, many Christian pastors and others have found this ploy by our governor to be distasteful and inappropriate, just as many of us here have.
