It's nice to see that the public has finally started paying down their debts, but when you see that the 300 million of us still owe 11.31 TRILLION, you have to realized just how far down the "garden path" we travelled before pulling our heads out of our butts!  I just hope that at the first sign of an economic upturn w...more

Given all the problems associated with being homosexual in the last couple hundred years,  it's difficult to imagine anyone "choosing" to be gay.  I'm straight, and I don't really understand the attraction..., but then I don't understand why lots of people like things I don't.  It's just part of life.
