GO CONGRESS!!!

Yeah, our government is spending its time debating and voting over how much control it can legally exert over our private lives! I have said this before... the government, neither federal or state, has any business debating or trying to legislate matters concerning sexual orientation. What gives Ted Kennedy, Diane Feinstein, George Bush or even the local grocer the right to tell consenting adults that their choice to love each other is illegitimate? Whether you approve with homosexuality or not, do you or anyone else have the right to forcibly exhort that viewpoint on someone else, much less try to legalize your assertion? AND... if you manage to believe this IS an issue for our government to tackle, is it of a higher priority than say, oh I don't know --
  • Resolving issues with Iraq
  • Finding the 7' Arab on dialysis running around in the mountains of Afghanistan and remove his genetalia with a dirty spoon
  • Resolving the issues regarding the price of gasoline
  • Working on providing healthcare for every man, woman and child in the United States
  • Ensuring that the education of our children is superlative -- on par with the rest of the world and ranked appropriately for the richest and most powerful nation on the earth
  • Making sure a sequel to "Purple Rain" is never made
  • Perfecting beer flavored ice cream
just a short list off the top of my head.

Good to know the important stuff is taking center stage.

I completely agree.

We have more important things to worry about than the love life of Americans.

I will not comment on some of your other issues (Health care, education); if you want to, I will discuss face to face.

I wholeheartedly agree with all you say, except for maybe the phrase, "practice of homosexuality." It's not exactly a vocation or career. And trust me, the pay sucks. Nice benefits package, though.

Beer-flavored ice cream??

You are right, that was the wrong choice of words, and I will edit the post to reflect that. I hope no one was offended.
