> It's so much easier to hobble the next administration (cut taxes for the rich, start a new war, increase military spending, convince people they are threatened) than to fix the damage once it is done. The well blow out here was similar perhaps, except for the fact that it was not nearly so deep, and it took 3 months to plug too.The opposite party always forget that it was them that piled on the debt and started wars and in general really mucked things up. Now it is all piled on the shoulders of the Democrats and I feel like the ship may be sinking....

> Given Christian and Christianist opinion, I think it would be wiser for gay people in partnership to have all the property rights pf marriage with a different name.I haven't gotten over them not being able to be in the hospital for last life decisions. At least the President fixed that. I can't imagine the fights after one partner dies and the family decides that they are going to take what they had together. I realize I'm painting with a broad stroke but it happened here in my little town.
> Christians with a sense of shame might like to consider abandoning entirely the field of sexuality, given their history and look to how other religions (but perhaps not Islam) handle it.This is hysterically funny! The way it is going for them, I think they should quit and move on to something else..like knitting? Or how about whittling? Little whistles to blow at the rest of us?
