Quote of the day
“We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.

You have a problem with cutting and pasting other peoples work? Since when?
I enjoyed reading what I posted and I hoped you would too..
starting to sweat eh?
Oh is that what I would be doing!
That default argument is meaningless to me. I have one vote. I If i choose to vote for someone outside of that vast pool of two then that would be who I am voting for.
I have no idea when I'm going to discuss Obama. I've alread spent too much time on this thread and this isnt my job. I'm doing this on my own time. I guess the answer would be: whenever I feel like it.
You know the LOD is being created to get China and Russia as well as the UN out of our way in order to take action against Iran and any other country we feel the need to fix.
There is no other reason to create this organization.
You can continue with your shameless denial of probable reactions and try to defend the righteousness of the cause; (same argument for terrorism) reminiscent of how the war in Iraq was sold to us but you would be wrong- just like you were wrong about invading Iraq.
Two thumbs down for McCains arrogant, naive and ultimately dangerous idea to create a League of Democracies.
