I had a mouse infestation in my old house once. Was watching the TV one night on the couch and one scurried across my leg. That was it. I was done.

I didn't have to poison them. I realized that they were living off a bag of grass seed in my shed. I threw it out. The problem went away.

Anyway, your belief that we can be made whole again is admirable, but I'm afraid it's a bit naive. We're still giving shots to 6 month olds. The federal government is adding about a trillion dollars to the debt every hundred days... And we're not even in a direct conflict. Yet.

Are those of us who have fought for years over this stuff capable of remaining peaceful? Of not going over the top with the reaction? Yes, most likely. But absent sane and rational response to this stuff, starting *yesterday* are the people who lose their jobs and their loved ones capable of it? I think not.

People who have no problem saying men can get pregnant are going to have no problem telling the diabetic who lost their leg that "aksually his leg is still there" and will do so there up until the point someone sticks a gun in their face. That someone won't be us, but it will happen.
