You're in Michigan, right? I don't think it's been liberal for that long. *G*
What I probably should've made clear in my judgment is I'm not judging those people with those opinions as human beings, but I do judge all related opinions to the central issue. I was fairly well pissed off when I made that post, for various personal and political reasons, not the least of which is the ridiculous misinformation campaign which I feel obscures the opportunity to discuss the real drawbacks of reform proposals so far - and maybe FIX them. (I still believe we need that legislation. I just don't know if what's up for vote right now is the best.)
(I have to say on an off topic note, I've been reading your posts about the neighbor kids in your yard with increasing amusement, mostly because I'm the same way - people who think everyone in the world is obligated to bow before their needs because they have children need a wake-up call. I don't mind doing a little more for kids on certain issues and at certain times, but I'm certainly sick of seeing the rights of non-childed people run over when they're inconvenient to observe.)
