If, as Palegius convolutedly argues, he was playing word and political games and reckless about the moral content or consistency of his words, this does not exonerate him, particularly at that moment in history. The Civil War is our nation's civic atonement, and BY pissed on it. It was obscene. Reading BY's words per their plain meaning, do you agree he was wrong? Quote:
How could any thinking person join the rank and file perception that LDS leaders are "always right." I can't say those words without smirking. Quote:

In my opinion that falls into the category of hypotheticals I could not possibly hope to answer until faced with it.

That said, I don't like having family vacations/holidays any longer with my heterosexual extended family members. They end up being more of a pain in the butt than they're worth. Give them a phone call wishing them well on Christmas and tell them how much fun you're having on vacation in Florida. That works for me. |

Maybe this is what Monson was concerned about.

Because as we discussed at length yesterday (something about Piaget and company), young kids have limited moral sense, and it would be difficult to help them strike the balance between hate the sin, but love the sinner, while not acting in a way that gives the your children the impression that the sin isn't really a sin but is just archaic bigotry.
