I argued a year ago that it should be done and stopped responding to Nonny Mice on any issue. On any given post we would have 5 Nonny Mice and it was impossible to tell who was posting and who was responding. This way, you know that I am responding to you and when you come back with the same name on this thread we will have a conversation.

That of course was under--gasp!--communism. And it proved disastrous, the Germans soon whipped their butts, but that's not the point here. In our hierarchical military-industrial society, soldiers obey orders of their superiors. So does it matter that a majority of combat personnel don't want openly gay/lesbian soldiers to serve? Well, no. And the analogy is to Truman's integrating the forces in 1948: a far larger % of the troops didn't like having to shower, sleep in the same room, brush their teeth next to, or share foxholes with Negroes, but they did it and it had no effect on military efficiency. I'll wager this new level of integration will work out the same way. I guess it all depends on what level of "social experimentation" you want to see--grater inclusiveness or unconstitutional exclusion?brotherdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597543573448439126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-83335666942442325042010-12-17T09:05:51.822-05:002010-12-17T09:05:51.822-05:00uh....I know you missed the point...y'all bein...uh....I know you missed the point...y'all being so wrapped up in 1861 history and all.<br /><br />But you are confusing election of public officials with evolving constitutional law.<br /><br />You see, in this country, under our constitution, we ELECT our congressional reps.<br /><br />And, by a 2 to 1 majority, the people of the fifth district have returned Virginia Foxx to congress AGAIN!<br /><br />Of course the people don't know what they are doing - they should just let the Wackos Of Watauga Watch decide for them!<br /><br />Keep it up Mrs Foxx!
