I don't know. That's not something I worry about. We don't discriminate
against disabled people. One of our brothers is technically disabled
(burn victim). Instead of saying "gee, if you discriminate against one
group, whats stopping you from discriminating against another?", why
don't we stick to this discussion. The thing that stops us from
discriminating against these people, by the way, is common human decency.
Asking these "what if" questions simply cloud the facts and disrupt the
discussion. It is a political technique designed to fool people by using
related subjects to make one person oppose another's views. Truth be
told, this discussion is not about handicapped, or colored, or religious
issues, it is about the rights of chapters. Deb, this is not an insult
as I believe that your comment was expressed out of general concern,
but please, try to stay focused. Their are chapters LIVES at stake here,
and any misconstrued ideas could do severe damage.

What bait? I was just giving general facts to the list.
