"Nuanced views" are rare these days. I had a very brief discussion the day before the election with someone who was voting for McCain. Although I was voting the other way, I love hearing people's points of view, and having a spirited dialog. It's one of the things I love about America - the diversity of thought. I asked the guy why he was voting for McCain, to which he replied "BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IN SOCIALISM". I wanted to suggest that he didn't appear to believe in dictionaries either, but let it go...and Paul: I'm with you 100% on re-thinking defense spending. We could spend mere millions to be leading in energy innovation, and instead are spending <em>billions</em> to protect our embarrassingly archaic oil-based economy Agreed, DojoNick. “Nuanced views” are rare these days.

My big one is the 51% of our taxes going to that 5 sided place. Start chipping at that and we may have something if you don't get killed. Good piece... note to self... be careful of what I email Ian. enjoy and or peace... you choose. paul This topic among many others are important but much much less important than many others as you say.

Reminds me of Dubyah's bold "yer either with us or aginst us" proclamation. Wait a minute, did I just compare the comments of an openly gay person with s statement by our GOP president? It must be the Kool Aid I've been drinking. This lil exchange helps show how hard is to expouse nuanced views on political issues these days.

Then you can rest assured she'll NEVER marry you. But seriously, Since you can't seem to come up with a rational argument for your point of view, I'll make a deal with you: I'll rethink my view if you TURN ON THE SPELLCHECK once in awhile. *I'm always going to put your nickname in quotes, and you know why. Don't make me blow your cover... Hey “Beatrix”*, be nice or I’ll tell your girlfriend how you got the knowledge to make the “size” references in this comment a while back. Then you can rest assured she’ll NEVER marry you.

No. You wouldnt be hip if you opposed gay marriage. Me and my partner probably would never get marries, but thats just cuz we have a hard time sorting out the "butch balance" as she calls it. :) RETHINK THIS!!! Who ever said you WERE hip?
