Important issues ... the trouble with decade long important issues is it's usually the side with the deepest pockets that win out. Who can line up more copious amounts of bs for the longest and squawk it the loudest.
Ultimately it's still a constitutional republic though; if we all do our homework wiser heads will prevail, and if not the failing is ours as much as anyones.
Did you happen to see that Microsoft has applied for a patent "for being a fan." Yeah, so soon the decade long argument for all sport fans will be "Why do I need to pay Microsoft for being a Colts fan ?"
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. ~George S. Patton

I disagree; even to the extent that's the real problem it's still down to indulgent parents.

"Kids need to feel badly sometimes"? What should we do? Dip their fingers in acid?
