I suppose my points that I've done so poorly at describing here are based on letting the legal machine crank on with regard to this issue.
It's not that I'm personally opposed to it but that I dont see the push for legalized worth pushing for right now. I do not see that not legally allowing GM is somehow anything near the comparison to the Black civil rights issues of years ago. Call me an ass.
The thing that I'm most worried about, respectfully, the thing that most people here discount totally, is the size and scope of the Christian population and how the changes they make in large numbers might affect all of us. Like boycotts and such.
Even worse, Imagine instead of 1 abortion bomber, 100 "GM bombers" or something similar but less violent. What would the drain on resources and our freedoms be in bringing that sort of thing back in check? Sure, worth it to defend the rights of gays, but really necessary? I dont think so. Let the issue crank through the legal system.
In that way, just knowing that this group is as large and committed as it is, the non-religious argument against GM is to keep force on those things that will decide all the legal cases as quickly as possilbe.
That might be tomorrow but I'm guessing not.
Yes, I know that many of you here hate the Christians. Yes, I also know that they are clearly wrong in most everything that they do. They must represent a large influence here in the US or this issue would have been slam dunk a long time ago.
