"How can we be single-issue partisans, when God is not a single-issue deity? There are many commandments, and much as we'd like to, we can't edit them down to two." -- Mark Rosenfelder, "The Devil and Pat Buchanan"

It's a great rant, and I hope it gets to at least some of the people who need to hear it.

Same way politicians get to be anyting else: pandering to single-issue voters.

The best attempt at such a redaction yet wouldn't make those partisans happy: "That which is hateful to you, do not do unto others. That is the whole of the law. The rest is commentary. Now go study." [I paraphrase Hillel from memory.]

*giggle* I remember that story... That's the etymology for al regel akhat, "on one foot," idiomatically doing something in a big hurry or with no preparation. Good advice, in any case.

Whoops, time to go to Hebrew class... Catch you folks later! :)
