Journal Hi_2k's Journal: Life is not a Zero Sum Game 2
Why is it that on every issue, there's a Republican way, a Democratic way, and occasionally a crazy way dreamed up by one of the ultra partisan groups? For Gay marriage, Simple answer: Call it a civil union, make it exactly the same benefits. Or, better yet, give up the whole idea of "The State" recognizing marriages and call EVERYTHING a civil union. Marriage has always been a religious thing, why call the secular benefits by the same name?
Some issues need debate. I believe in the Iraqi war. The soccer team would not have been around and doing so well if it hadn't been for the ousting of Saddam. I do believe that the whole thing was up for debate that it did not receive.
I think we need a new political party devoted to SANITY and OPEN PUBLIC DEBATE. Politicians no longer debate in Debates, they smear. That's gotta go. Smear campaigns are about the slimiest and most disgusting things ever invented, yet they dominate elections.

Sanity? (Score:2)
No matter. I'm afraid we of the political class must have you sent to the re-education camps, for you are clearly stark raving bonkers.
