EXCLUDED

The Dec. 20 Business News Daily Digest reported: ``Virginia Housing Development Authority commissioners on Tuesday bowed to Gov. George F. Allen's wishes and proposed barring housing loans to homosexual or unmarried couples.''

I find it amazing that enough people born without spines could be assembled in one place to form a board of commissioners.

As for Governor Allen: How safe are any of us when someone elected to defend and preserve the rights and welfare of all is allowed to say ``. . . except you''?
