Jerry Falwell: A Catalog of Contributions

[JMHACLJ at aol.com]

Truth be told, if I had the sufficient good sense not to have opened my  
digest version of the list three days ago, I wouldn't have posted that little  
story about Jerry Falwell.  When the previous to mine post mentioned the  nature 
of some of the blogging about his death -- none of which laid any greater  
claim to a reasoned discussion of principles of law than did my story -- I  
thought I would offer a balancing bit, and I did.  No regrets.

P.S.  As for how much any of the posts on the lists contributes, or  fails to 
contribute, I would be careful not to confuse prolixity with  persuasiveness, 
verbosity with wisdom, or post-hoc rationalizations with  truth.   The men 
(sorry ladies, but a commitment to gender  fairness cannot fairly serve its 
purpose if it unfairly recasts history) who  crafted the constitutional bulwarks 
of our religious liberties did it with few  words but much resolve.  And it 
would serve us all better to recall  that if there was any value to the later 
posts in this discussion, those posts  were provoked by the ones earlier and the 
responses to them.
