Become that person then.  Please, tell me why you think gay marriage 
should not be allowed.  I'd love to hear more about why the government 
should be in the business of dictating what are essentially
religious / moral principles, especially in light of the principle
of separation of church and state.

Not I. I'm a die-hard Libertarian.  We're both "left of left" AND
"right of right."  Simply labeling everybody as "liberal" or
"conservative" is a gross over-simplification, at best.

I think it would be great if you didn't unsubscribe.  Maybe the majority 
of the people on this list *are* what you would refer to as "die-hard 
liberals."  Good, then having a dissenting voice can only be a good 
thing, for everybody.  Anything that makes people think is good, IMHO.

I'd hate a list where everybody only ever agrees and says "me too."  How 
boring would that be?  Dissent should be welcomed, even encouraged... 
it's healthy, as long as the people on both sides of the issues are 
willing to maintain an open mind.

Just my $00.02 worth, from a decidedly non "core" member of the list. :-)

TTYL,
