   There is in Christian thought in America somehow always exemption for the   
   thinker.  I once asked a radio preacher who I knew in Illinois why it was   
   that Christians always seemed to have some reason why their pronouncements   
   did't apply to themselves.  He just laughed and said that if I ever figured   
   that one out I should call him and let him know.  Whether this comes from or   
   goes to religeon in this county I don't know but Americans do tend to think   
   of ethics in terms of regulating other people rather than doing what is   
   right and if you point out the discrepency you will be accused of being a   
   dreamer.  I found this to be quite common in Australia as well.  Don't know   
   about NZ I never got out of the Aukland airport.
