So very true, but lately the cartoon network sucks. Way to many prefab Japanamation marketing cartoons.
I did not see his speech as I am still taking a politics break but friends I saw last night (who are mild Republicans) saw it and both liked it. I'm sure my liberal friend will be making wise cracks about it tonight if I happen to talk to him.
I used to think that political differences were just due to lack of information or some self serving interest. Many times this is true, but occasionally I have run into people who are as informed as I am, with the same facts, who come to totally different conclusions. How two intelligent people with the same data could come to different conclusions used to puzzle me. I came to realize it was the paradigm from which they view the world that was fundamentally different, and paradigms will never change based on one case or one event. I have seen them change in people, but it takes years. This is in general why arguing politics with most people is just pissing in the wind.
