    I could not begin to answer why we are fighting in Iraq especially. Some Freudian complex I believe.

    I hope this time we will recognize the difference between being lead and being ruled and make the right choice.

    Being led, following by choice.

    Being ruled, being forced to follow.

    Any questions?

    How do I feel about what? Just remain civil toward each other, no name-calling and remember we are all here because we love pets. Everything else we can disagree about, as long as we remain civil and respectful.

    Having Sarah wonder how I feel about the Palin "girls" is over the line.

    So if Sarah feels the truce is off you might as well ban us both right now.

    You have the far left & you have the far right. But somewhere in the middle is common sense.

    Problem is there arent many center lefties any more. They call themselves center but they are far to the left of center. The upshoot is they are closer to sane then the far lefties. The rightie centrist are closer to center then the leftie centrists but still isnt center.

    Only the right off center people.
    The center off left people would be right of the mirror, and can't see left.

    If somebody goes far enough to the right, don't they eventually become left?

    Time for some happy political news -

    From CNN -

    U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, recovering from a gunshot wound to the head sustained January 8, is regaining part of her ability to speak, her spokesman said Wednesday.

    C.J. Karamargin would not divulge what Giffords has said, other than saying she asked for toast.

    "It's very good news," he told CNN.
    And from the same source -

    Mark Kelly told reporters on Friday that he expects Giffords to witness Endeavour's launch, scheduled for April 19. With NASA planning to retire the shuttle fleet, this is expected to be Endeavour's last mission.

    "I have every intention for her to be at the launch," Kelly said.

    If blue wandered too far right, he'd fall into a crevasse, and then he'd be left.
