DAYUM! Impressive! VERY glad you're here! Your point is EXCELLENT and the way you laid it out and worded it - EVEN BETTER!!!! Crap. It's left me speechless!!!!

You're absolutely spot-on! "It's got to be part of the big game plan. Marriage equality, gender equality, racial equality, a woman's right to choose, an adult's right to put whatever substances into their body that they choose... We must be able to choose our own paths."

That just nails it. Just boils it down all the way. And I just realized something rather ironic: it's OUR version of "Don't Tread On Me," isn't it! "Don't Tread On ME, EITHER!!!" Now - to find a graphic... ? I'm trying to think... praying mantis or scorpion maybe? What image would be best to depict or suggest liberals/progressives/people who believe government can/should be a force for good?

Both Scalia and Kennedy are still in their late 70s. OW Holmes served until he was 90 struggle4progress May 2014 #17
Yes I know they are relatively young - but the probability that one of the two will MillennialDem May 2014 #18

Because they own the politicians, courts, and the media, that's why we continue to fight the Dustlawyer May 2014 #19
DAYUM, Dustlawyer - did you see this post from Stryst? calimary May 2014 #21
