I wouldn't exactly call it a pro war stance. From what I've heard, she thinks that getting into the war in the first place was a big mistake, but to withdraw now would cause more problems. I don't agree with that either, but like I said, not exactly a pro war stance.

Quoted from Mairi

The United States might be ready to elect a black president, but not a woman one. Especially not one with so much baggage.

This I don't know about. I think she has a real shot. If she's able to develop some sort of personality in the months to come I'd say she has a damn good chance of being our first female president. Plus some people think it's a two for one thing with Bill.

I don't know. It seems Britain is just so ahead in these things. I don't think Canada will elect a woman PM either. I mean, we have had one already (Kim Campell) but she wasn't elected, she was appointed because Brian Mulroney resigned.

You do have a point about the two-for one thing, though. That was a big part of Bill's campaign.

Quoted from Mairi

(I think civil unions are kind of lame. Just let them get married already!)

Yeah!

Marriage is something between a man and a woman two people that love each other.

heres something i always wondered, if all the jokes about marriage were true, wouldnt they want to let them get married since they were gonna end up as miserable as every other married person?

Isn't gay marriage recognized in Massachusetts? Hey one state out of 50! Not bad! But I mean considering the history of tolerance in this country that's actally a miracle in itself. Do you think any of us will live to see the day when gay marriage is recognized in say Mississippi? Ha.

yes yes, i live in the bay state, now known as the gay state. but also remember that massachusetts is still the most liberal state in the country

Massachusetts is the most liberal state? I thought that was California. I mean, that's what most people would think but I guess not.  

Quoted from The End

Brown.

Yeah, you guys don't seem at all phased that your country just changed leaders after, what, ten years or so? Must be nice.

It's because they all seem to cock it up in there own inmitable way.

Quoted from Sandra

Massachusetts is the most liberal state? I thought that was California. I mean, that's what most people would think but I guess not.  

Cali does have medical marijuana, whereas Mass still treats it like it's heroin or something. Those good, Calvinistic puritan values still cling, generations later.

yea yea, but in the grand scheme of things, we're both the most liberal states, we have gay marriage, you have weed

Yeah, weed. That's okay. But don't you DARE lite up a REAL cigarette while your here! This is the non-smoking state you know.

Sandra, do you feel like a New Yorker or a Californian?

Noam Chomsky.
