If it's the government, then anyone who has the right to vote will have the power.
I never once stated anything about these being small questions/situations/considerations. You can never dictate what is going to happen in real life, yes real life is complicated, but what statisics have you shown me about the basis of enthusiasm on such a subject, I'm sorry but none.
All you had to do was ask, if you wanted statistics. We started off with personal experience and opinions, that's where we went.
In the same sense that I don't have proof that everyone will be up in arms about a proposal like this. I don't talk from my rear, and I feel like you don't respect my integrity about this situation. I'm sorry but this isn't your "what kate spade should I get thread." My opinions yes, but true to them I hold.
Challenging an opinion with one of my own based on a different experience is NOT not "respecting your integrity". It was never stated nor implied that I had anything BUT respect for you or anything about you.
I am out of this thread. The minute anyone diverts a conversation from the topic to "you're not respecting me" is the beginning of the end. I'll be glad to carry on a conversation in private before the thread gets hijacked any further. Civil inquiries will receive civil responses.
