Congratulations, you have discovered the reason for living of our rule #7.

But I'm happy to see that political discussions remain possible here, even on touchy subjects. Maybe we will modify this rule someday. People seem to listen to each other, no open argument started so far - boy, we were close though

This is NOT something you see on every internet forum !!!
The topic seems to have shifted quite a bit tho, are you still speaking of the outcome of the US elections or is it all about gay marriage now ?
BTW I'd like Shephard to explain what makes him call Kerry a "tree-hugger" ? Frankly I don't see...
