Idiotic. Sorry JP. That's about the stupidest most idiotic "plank" of the social-conservative platform, that I keep hearing over and over again, and every time I do, it turns my stomach.

You're reminding of the Doonesbury thing where Trudeau was pointing out the utter stupidity of these kinds of arguments - where some Faux news-caster was trying to say, "yeah, well we should hear the folks that still argue that the earth is square, in the interesting of being FAIR AND BALANCED".

Gimme a gigantic f'ing break.

Look, you're a smart person - surely you can't keep putting all your cookies in a bankrupt basket with all kinds of holes in it - where they're falling out even as you're walking from one part of the street to another.

THis is utter stupidity - and for what? I don't understand loyalty to a FAILED CAUSE.

It's FAILED - it's OVER. The best we can do now, is pick up whatever pieces we can still grab, and go home.

WISE UP, JP. Argh.....

Well, all I can do is post ideas into the cloud. I have no more "power" than that, except via communications and so on.

And once in a while, I even have the luxury of a few minutes to "post into the cloud", as I say - it ain't like it used to be, when I was sick and had nothing better to do than hang around the house all day.

My son swallowed an ear-ring a couple of days ago. I had to race up to Frisco doing about 90 mph the whole way, and it's a darn lucky thing I got there in time, and some cop didn't decide to chase me along the way ('cause I wouldn't have stopped till I got right to the front door of the hospital).

You see what I'm saying, right? There are battles worth fighting, and then there are lost causes, and it sure helps to have the discernment to tell the difference.

Dig? Yes?
