X=>  Like they say, the Moral Majority is NEITHER!!   [A. J. ROWLEY]

X=So the majority are immoral.  Terrific.  [PAUL DUBOIS]

To clarify:  saying "The Moral Majority is neither" implies that those
associated with that group do not represent a majority nor are they
"moral".  It does not imply that the majority is immoral, as Paul would
have it.  (Believing that must somehow make him feel justified in his
feelings for humanity.)  Fact is, the majority is probably "immoral" by
Paul's standards, in that Paul doesn't like their actions and beliefs.

I DO worry about things like this because they represent the mood of a
significant number of people who would like to see the majority become
"moral" by their standards. ("Or else what?" is a reasonable question to ask
them.  As is "Why?".)
