It's too bad we have to listen to so much sillyness, while our representatives insist on passing legislation without adequate discussion and debate, that nobody has read. Anyone who plays the gotcha game ought to be ashamed of the harm they do to intelligent discourse.

Dang Saliormon...that is very nicely put indeed.
We wonder why we still have a racial problem in this country or the world for that matter...its because we have never gained a true love , appreciation, or forgiveness toward our fellow man attitude....whatever you want to call it.
Most of us are rabid dogs ready to pounce and dissect each other over the silliest things just to feel Superior.
Until we find that attitude and more apply put it into practice we will eculate to possibly to the point of 50 states under different flags.
