What a sad state of affairs, reading thru these postings. Half truths everywhere, hatred coming out of every seam, inability to even look at the other side. For shame! And then this sad post about handicapped people. I grew up with a brother who is retarded because of an automobile accident, and this made me damn mad. Isn't it really time we work together to solve problems. No one person is ever going to contain everything we want out of any position we take in politics. We basically hire politicians (through our votes) to do the compromising. I know I dabbled in politics at one point in time in my life, but had to get out of it because I had to compromise my own personal beliefs too much. Again, the post about retards crossed the line in my book.
