I WANT to bang Charlize Theron but that doesn't mean that if she stopped in to visit I would be unable to control myself and start humping her.....but then again....

Speaking of self control, Keyes himself has an answer to your question.
form the article;
"We as human beings cannot assert that our sexual desires cannot be controlled," Keyes said. He said such a claim would "consign us to the real of instinctual animal nature-- and we are not there."

Re: Alan Keyes is...
I agree. I love to listen to Keyes debate issues whenever I can. The guy is well spoken, understands the issues, and definitely commands attention when he speaks. Did I mention that I agree with him on almost every issue? What I am saying is that his level of conviction and resolve could lead to stalemates in Senatorial debates. I fear that he will not know when to compromise, and I don't mean compromise as in selling out. I mean compromise to reach an agreeable way forward. That's why I think a supporting role would be a better starting point. Maybe he does reach workable solutions, I can't say for certain. I stopped following his career in 2000. But I'll be watching again, now. This is an Illinois issue now anyway.

No. I'm just angry, that's all. I get angry at Larry and the kids all the time but I don't hate them nor do I think they're worthless.
Anger is a sign you care - if Keyes didn't care so much, he wouldn't get so angry. That's why it's important to watch what candidates get angry about. Some politicians get angry over being caught lying and cheating. And some get angry about the state of the world today. That tells you what they care about and what's important to them.

Good God, man.
I am angry at my kids a full 12 hours per day or more.
But I NEVER hate them, and I NEVER judge them as worthless. It is possible to be angry at someone, or passionate about an issue without hating and without striking out physically.
I am passionately opposed to abortion. The very idea of legalizing the practice of butchering children into cole slaw boggles my mind to this very day.
But I don't HATE anyone for it. I'm not about to start punching faces over it.
Although those idiots who shoot doctors and blow up clinics... I can't speak for the insane.
Anyway, my point is: Passion != Violence

They'll read that as "Passion! Equals violence!"
Never thought of that.
Ok - for the logic shorthand impaired: "!=" means NOT EQUAL...
So: "Passion != Violence" means "Passion is not the same as violence."
Just in case there was any ( confusion || complaints || issues ).

Asperger's Poster Child
I understand that on an intellectual level, but on an emotional level it has never made sense to me. For some reason, it doesn't feel true for me.
On a related topic, someone I know well told me recently that they thought I might have Asperger's Syndrome. As in the inability to read social cues and body language. Maybe that's why I feel physically threatened by other people's anger.
Then maybe you're the one with the problem, since most people can separate anger and violence.

Anyway, I like Keyes' passion and conviction. I think it's a sign of good character and good leadership. But since he's a bit much for most people, he probably won't get elected.

Wouldn't that be a huge kick in the sack to the DNC though.
If Keyes came in and snatched the election right away from their "Golden Boy". Gain a seat in the Senate, embarass the Keynote speaker of the Dem Convention and it just may make MacKaulife jump out the window of a tall building in shame. Oh dreams.........
