Hang on, isn't politics about responding to peoples needs/feelings? I fail to see the sense in this statement. How are people supposed to 'cast' the Presidents decision? As popcorn? No, its not political at all is it... The President is just standing up for what's right, wholesome and the American way! Thankya Gduubya. Of course its political. Or are you suggesting that the Constitution has nothing to do with politics? > > I definitely could say the same thing about brin-l. > > JDG > I think that's part of the problem, that you don't see this as a political issue. I guess it isn't for a conservative hetro apple pie kinda guy (no personal attack intended) But it is for a gay couple, its very political. For them its about basic human rights. Hence the crossed wires, on both sides. You need to be playing on the same field at least. Andrew _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
