sabineI freely admit that I've done some dumbass things over the years. I probably will keep doing them until the day I die. However, I have only once been a candidate for Darwinian removal, but the Almighty Darwin smiled upon me, saying, "Your genetics are strong. In order that the population may flourish, it is your destiny to reenter the gene pool." He added some other things about flamethrowers, involuntary sterilization, and chainsaws to be used on the unfit, but I don't think I need to go into the details.
Unfortunately for the Almighty Darwin, these individuals lived through their ordeals...for now... *evil grin, maniacal laughter*

Our president made the list at #3 above for his continued call for a constitutional amendment forbidding gay marriage. Last Friday, in a commencement address at Concordia University (full text), I found an interesting paragraph:

Our greatest strength as a nation is that we bravely face our flaws and do our best to make things right. Our greatest successes as a nation have come when we broadened the circle of protection and inclusion. And this work is not finished. We will press on until every person shares in the promise of our country.
So, let me get this straight, Mr. President. You say that America is strongest when we're giving the same rights and freedoms to everyone, yet you think that we ought to have a constitutional amendment denying rights and freedoms to a portion of our population? And what about that whole "separation of church and state" thing, anyway? Ah, yes, I had forgotten that you don't so much follow logic and clear thinking...for that, you get my
Congratulations...*sigh*
