But, I will not support anything 'fervently' until it gives me a reason to. Just because one side allows you to live when the other side won't doesn't mean much when the system (that they both keep in place) won't let you do much of anything to survive.

And, well...

And BOY, do I question that statement about Democrats keeping their 'crazy aunts and uncles locked up in the attic'.

But, both are debates for another time.

Thanks for your input.
