“Why do today what you can put off until the next life?”

“Me likey... BP BS fanned.”

“Agree. And these "wars" over water in the future will involve more than just countries, there will be internal wars/battles between citizens within countries, like ours.”

“in what universe?”

“Are you suggesting that medicare is now an entitlement of the left? good grief! Dem.entia must be a terrible medical condition to live with.”

“Totally for abolishing the Department of Education. I agree, you don't have kids don't pay to educate mine.”

“You can opt out of Social Security? Gee I didn't know that. Try and see what happens.”

“Well, that is a bold-faced lie. I can't opt out of paying federal taxes despite the fact that I disagree with most of how it's used (i.e., killing and displacing millions of innocent people, trillions given over to sources the Fed refuses to disclose, etc.).

America is the prime example of taxation without representation. Only an idiot would think the majority of Americans were even barely represented by their government.”

“Really? I can opt out of social security?”

“someone still has to pay for it.”

“That was then this is now.”

“It is possible that the co-op board would allow her to assume ownership rights.

But it still doesn't make our problem as easy to solve as a couple with a marriage license would be able to solve.

And it doesn't help the tax burdens she would face.

And I really wouldn't feel comfortable knowing that any plans I have made for her in my will could lead her to have to sue under discrimination based on gender.

If my partner and I want to form the sort of commitment that is available to a man and woman, shouldn't we have that right? Along with all the legal benefits that commitment provides?

Of course we still haven't spoken about insurance benefits, hospital visits, adoption of children, living wills, power of attorney, etc, etc.

But trust me. I would never demand any religious organization to recognize my civil partnership/marriage as being the same as the commitments they demand of the people in their organization.

But, at the same time, I want religious organizations to stay out of my life.”

“Yeah, I'm confused. This guy is obviously dangerous. It does suck that these wars are churning out disturbed, violent people, but that's no reason he should get off scott free.”

“I noticed the same thing. The guy may have killed two people. Why all the sympathy for him? I don't get it.”

“I know, friend; it's the life I chose. The alternative was a cubicle in Red Wood City.

I'm still for healthcare reform, if that makes you feel better.”

“I agree with you, but I see "large corporations" come up out of nowhere, all the time.

Actually, the failure-rate for start-ups, in general, is incredibly high, but that's the life I chose.

I find it exciting, but I'm young.”

“"America without a middle class is the recipe for..." fascism

The denial of medical care for millions of its citizen is baffling to the outside world, but makes perfect sense in the right wing dream of a two class society.”

“I TOTALLY agree! Am sick of having that tired, failed "personage" high-lighted constantly. (One day on the HP the she B was highlighted 7-8 times......WHY?). SP is a NON-ENTITY! Arianna, did you ever read the book THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY? Do so. Palin is a flake, a fraud, hopeless beyond contempt. By giving her air-time you only increase her "standing". NO ONE should EVER bring her up again. Let her go back to Wasilla - where in the hell for the sake of the world is that????,,,,and then "Tend her garden" as Candide said (a la Voltaire).”

“And my husband did the dishes. :)”
