I won't take the debate (I simply don't have the time), but I will say this makes me happy for you. America is actually moving in the direction of what I (in my warped, Scandinavian brain, obviously) think of as a civilised country. I did not think that would ever happen.


Is there a good, semi-reliable (or more reliable than semi) place I can go and read about this bill? I don't want garbage. I don't want to hear opinions about it. I just want to know what it says so that I can make my own opinions. The only thing I've found kind of like that stumps me as to why people would be upset over the bill. So obviously I need something else. I don't want something that trashes it. I'm just afraid what I was reading left out language or something like that that will impact what will happen.

Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.

You must have an interesting definition of "most" Floffe - 22/03/2010 05:43:38 PM 760 Views
My definition of most is obviously quite defective. Brian - 22/03/2010 08:05:22 PM 795 Views
As long as you define "most" as "some time" you're just fine with it as it stands *NM* Floffe - 22/03/2010 08:15:03 PM 356 Views
I'd say "most" people would agree with my definition of "most" in my original post.... Brian - 23/03/2010 05:16:59 AM 867 Views
