1. I don't think anyone should respond as even a member, let alone 
representative of UUPA.

2. Stanley Kurtz' dignity has been besmirched by his own actions, 
which include lying, exploiting ignorance and intolerance for 
political and financial ends, and disregarding our rights and 
dignity. Of course I have compassion for him, just as I do for child 
molesters and serial killers. I assume no child comes into the world 
intending to harm others, but when one ends up a vicious sociopath, I 
feel we need to take reasonable steps to protect ourselves.

3. There is no civil discourse with Stanley Kurtz and his Bushtian 
ilk. They don't care if polyamory, gay marriage, the arts, stem cell 
research, etc is good for the public or bad. All they care about is 
using these wedge issues to push the buttons of their constituents.
