[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1357975, member: 18225"] I'm not sure that's where he's coming from. He and I agree that our rights aren't given to us by the government. He believes they come from God, I believe they're simply my rights. In either case, we have our government to hammer out the details, and as you know, the devil is in the details. Honestly I think that most of this conflagration between dems/pubs/Christians/Atheists/Cthulhu party etc. is mostly wasted energy. We all want the same things - a vibrant economy, a safe world in which our children/grandchildren can grow up in, a world safe from war and strife, an end to poverty and abuse, and a world where we are able to live up to our given potential. But, our government is beholden to the party of Mammon, and doesn't serve us. That's our fault, and until we change that, we're going to get so much more of the same. I just wish we could stop arguing about the margins, and agree to the core of what we need to do as a populace. Not holding my breath. [/QUOTE]
