Yeah, I had the same thought, B. Analogies seldom hold up under close scrutiny. But it was too funny to pass up.

I firmly believe this one holds up to the closest scrutiny. If we do nothing, the country will change is ways I don't like. That makes it very personal for me. You (collective) may be comfortable with that prospect, but I am not... never will be.

It will always change. Who is to say that the next group of political appointees are not going to stir things up for you any worse than the last?

Excellent point! That's why anyone that truly loves this country and what it stood for, must be constantly vigilant for those that don't.

The most common mistake is to say, my guys won so every thing is OK. It's not... it's not OK for anyone to fuck up this country, regardless of who's side appointed or elected them.
