meaningless over the long haul in the face of the Republican cabal. If the last 40+ years haven't demonstrated that sufficiently, nothing will I suppose. I understand where you are coming from, but its been one step forward, two steps back on far too many fronts for far too long in my view. We might as well meet them head on. We have the numbers as far as people goes, and the people will ultimately prevail when push becomes shove.

It might not be pretty, but it's been going there for longer than we tend, out of decency and a commitment to unity, to admit.
