I don't get that. If a political party had denying me rights as part of it's platform, I'd become a single issue voter.

I think for many people a political party is like a religion. You may disagree with some of the stuff they're saying, but you don't leave because of it, you try to change it. Until enough of the stuff becomes bad enough, and maybe then, but people can have really high standards of what's offensive enough when it comes to a group they really identify with.

Did that make sense? My cat-induced lack of sleep is really catching up with me.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Did that make sense?

Yep. Sadly.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Y'know, I can think of a handful of slashers who would deny Actual Queers equal rights.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I don't get that.

His argument is that excessive regulation destroyed his family business, and the Republicans are the anti-regulation-of-business party.

I don't get it either, and I try to avoid talking politics with him.

Did that make sense?

Yeah, it does. Sometimes I think party affliation has much more to do with voting than issues. If Gore had done exactly the same things Bush did during his term, I'm sure you'd have Republicans outraged over lying us into war and nation-building and Democrats defending the policies.

Yay for Firefox! I'm already using a 1.5 release candidate so no worries about lost extensions and themes. I use the Outlook 2003 theme right now, but I like to switch every once and a while.
