Pogoisms
In what must be an enormous fount of knowledge, isn't it odd that the only pearl of Pogo anyone quotes is the "Enemy" one ?
AND, it's secondhand.
After all, "We are our own worst enemy" (in various forms) predates the cartoon character by a bunch.

I think that the reason the 'enemy' quote is still remembered is that it is quite profound. Most of Walt Kelly's work was published so many years ago,
that the majority alive today never read it. I will say, though, that for many years Kelly produced some of the finest political satire that there has
ever been.

A Profound Thought ?
OK, but it's NOT his Thought.
Just as FDR's "Fear" Quote and JFK's "Ask Not".
All just "re-worded" something that already existed.
Without attribution.

what issue is that, hate?
hate may work for you in november due to economy and the unemplyed and underelmployed looking for a scape goat for their ills, but hate may not be
much of a foundation for keeping office through following elections or after economy turns

Hate? I don't think it's hate, that's your line of work. People are hungry for change. Change for the good.

I felt the same way as you, Lee. Until I got so damned sick of hearing all the one-way trirades that were interjected into almost every other thread
on this site. That's why I posted my thoughts in the above post...but I will respect your wishes and delete it..even though it just gives fuel to
the following, I'm sure.
I am a lover of Baja first and foremost...and could care less about promotoing my point of view on politics.
In fact, I will just delete all my posts on this thread..adios..sniff, sniff..snort
What was the name of that other Baja Forum again??

Lee I don't see how you can post a topic like this:
"Mexico reaffirms gay marriages. Not hard to be more enlightened than California."
...and not expect that it would lead to a discussion about politics.
carpe diem!

Can we be clear here?
This is about MX politics and California politics as it involves gay marriage.
Or, if we follow your logic, it's a informational thread about gay marriages in Mexico City AND the United States National Guard moving in to
defensive positions along the California border.
IT's NOT ABOUT U.S. POLITICS!
Why is that a problem?
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Threads morph....that's what they do. Especially when everything imaginable has been said a few times on the same subject.
It's hard to imagine what the board would be like if it was against someones rules to stray from the subject. It just isn't the way we communicate. In
fact, dialog isn't the structure here as much as monologue, which is by far the predominant posting technique. People here post mostly just to hear
themselves talk.
Everyone relax. Threads have lives. When they've run their course, they die. It's my opinion that they shouldn't be kept on life support.
Grieve.......and move on.

lee,
if you would post a cute picture of a puppy dog, the nomads would change their mood and have a love fest, they would ooh and aah over your cute puppy
and send you hugs and kisses.
but if you post a thread about gay political issues, well, you will draw out every homophobe in baja and the US to expound on obama and every other
crank issue of the day, because they have no credible argument against gay marriage rights. the modus operandi here is to debate gay marriage by
trying to change the subject to obama's birth certificate and stimulus deficit spebding

Stereotyping!
That is what this string has evolved to.
On the Left: The Goat
On the Right: Practically all of them; especially the quotations attributed to Robt. A. Hall
As to taking it to Off topic, it is dominated by the extreme Right Wingers. No rational, objective debate occurs there, with the exception of perhaps,
Old Lady. I don't mean she is right. I am just saying that she has demonstrated a sincere desire to debate her point of view without an agenda of
hate.
Lee has posted on a provocative topic. It is naive to think that polarized opinions will not follow. I do understand Lee's wish that politics do not
enter this debate, but was too late as soon as he pushed the Send button.
So, as Dennis says (I am paraphrasing, so no quotes), take your lumps. Every string has a life of its own and will eventually die.
My personal political opinion is that the Homophobes keep this string going. For the rest of us...WHO CARES, except for the countering of ignorant
statements

But I was a bit peey so I apologize. Would be nice though if the thread stayed on course (and I didn't mean to separate your name for any reason!...
You may be an old lady and call yourself an old lady, but I would never do it!) "God" knows I'm old enough

Have you had a close or recent negative experience with a female lumberjack?
Also, how do you mean ''keep it out of my face?''
Like, on TV? Or do you mean at a Pride Fest?
