You can't give up on the
World... of Warcraft!
| I feel about as 'at risk' from terror as I feel I will be killed by a drunk driver. It's complete ridiculous how a group of people can be persuaded by such redundant, obvious rhetoric. Now we have every wanna be hero in the country shoving a microscope up your ass each and every time you want to travel by air. Our notebooks and cell phones are being copied by who the hell really knows each and everytime we go through airports. I don't feel any safer now. I feel more invaded by my government. If saving me from the terrorists means blowing the shit out of other countries and bending me over while you take away my constitutional rights I say I'll take my chances with the terrorists. |

I'm not sure the republicans would like me though I believe the 14th amendment -Already guarantees gay marriage in all 50 states -Already guarantees the spirit of the Equal Rights Amendment -Makes the 19th amendment redundant. -Makes Abortion irrefutably legal. The fact that the Supreme court will not recognize this should be grounds that the sitting justices be impeached. ---------------- I believe that Congress should either declare war or else rescind the Approval of force in Iraq. The War Powers Act should be amended to limit how long the US can fight conflicts without a formal declaration of war. ------------------ All this nonsense about letting our Economy dwindle because we don't want to drill domestic oil needs to be re-evaluated. Nuclear Power plants need to be modernized and all this NIMBY crap needs to be bulldozed. Same goes for new Oil refineries We need about 3 formulations of Gasoline, not over 30 The tax benefit for alternative fuels for automakers needs to be doubled. The EPA regulations and Cafe requirements need to be adjusted for Modern technology and realistic performance not what the EPA under the Clinton and Carter administrations said they could achieve. Maybe take the lead from Europe. ----------------------------------------- We need a complete overhaul of our bureaucratic system of government. Switching back to an actual republic would be nice. After that we could manage a National Health Care system. Completely removing the Employer/Insurance garbage we get today --------------------------------------------- There needs to be privacy acts or an amendment if necessary to secure all of our personal information that gets data-mined all over internet hell. Again at least Europe is trying to do this. ------------------- "Under" God needs yanked from the Pledge of allegiance And God needs taken off our money. -------------------- Anything that even smells like the Patriot act needs to be repealed. The prisoners at Gitmo should either be charged or turned over to the UN. We need to stop fucking around with Russia and put the Missile shield somewhere they wont get pissed off about. Or just cancel the damn thing. We shouldn't be recruiting all of Russia's neighbors into an Alliance that was designed to fight Russia. We should follow Boring Biden's advice and stop letting China get away with proverbial murder in unfair trade practices. We need to figure out how to get out of this Taiwan mess - maybe negotiate a reconciliation in exchange for the trade stuff. It is sovereign Chinese territory. We need to withdraw our troops from Saudi Arabia. They can afford their own. We need to withdraw our troops from South Korea. They can afford their own We need to withdraw our troops from Japan. They can afford their own. We need to withdraw our troops from Europe. They can afford their own. We need to give Gitmo back to Cuba .. its theirs. We can take our stuff though. ----------------------------------- That would do for a start. Come to think of it - The Democrats wouldn't like me either. | |

There is no sanctuary. You
may think there is, but there
isn't.

But he's not the one who referred to it as "putting a uterus on the ticket." That was you. Similarly, use of the term "cow" is not a world that would be applied to a man. Surely people don't think sexism is okay, as long as it is applied to the other side? Using sexism against any woman hurts all of us. The same way that using racism against a candidate from the other party hurts all individuals of that race, and indeed, hurts all of us in the long run. coco

| ![]() Don't lecture me about feminism. I've helped women get into clinics when others would keep them out. Maybe that's why I have no patience for a woman who celebrates her own "brave" decisions while working to deny other women the right to make their own. |

![]() Assisting women to gain access to abortion clinics doesn't give you feminist street cred when you make sexist comments all day. | |

I don't expect you to have patience for ANY particular woman. Or to agree with any woman's politics, needless to say. Or respect for any particular woman. But if you think being sexist towards other women you don't respect is okay, my point is, that hurts all of us. coco | |

The fact that you are Pro-abortion or supportive of women doesn't mean you are incapable of using language that could be sexist. | ||
