Well, OK....I have a problem with Dec. 21, 2012. Let's make it a holiday so I don't have to work on the day I die. How's that? Sorry that might qualify as a religious holiday, and that eez noot ah loudt.! But...but...I got it in ahead of time. That should make him happy, eh?My reality and yours are quite different.

Now, back to the topic at hand . . . How is honoring someone an example of what's wrong in government? ok - you won't acknowledge the basic point (that allowing different rights for 'some' is a problem), then I'll come at it from your direction. Government should be enforcing the law and restricting their involvement to the bare minimums. "honoring" people is a waste of government time - it's really none of their business getting into subjective items like that. ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
