All those I heard speak with great emotion about Rev. Wright´s words, do it with great emotion and some tried to reach his level of eloquence and emotion, and fail -in both.

But, what about the intellectual content of the words on both sides? One side could remind us of the price we must willing to pay and the excesses we must endure to be able to truly believe and claim to believe we have Freedom of Religion and not a phony Freedom of-Religion-as-long-as-I-appro­ve of whatever the Rabbi, Minister or Priest says.

How quickly, or the urgency with which, we abandon a Principle, tells us how strongly we hold that Principle, any Principle. It is not a matter of being "clever with words", we must be willing to accept all that a principle implies and requires.

Freedom of Religion is more fundamental than even, Freedom of Speech, which is the one tha allow us to read and write whatever, or almost whatever, people wish to discuss, with civility, in this magnificent site.

That too many, in turn, condemned Sen. Obama for being "Guilty by Association" with another human being, this could make a rational person begin to wonder how many of our so-called Principles deserve the label.

To what extent we are willing to tolerate others that do not "think like us", assuming we have gone beyond bias against those that associate with those that "don´t look like us", and, by the way, we best assume this last assertion is always true, in this, anomymous, magnificent, site.
