Guarantee they will and it's too bad we can't have a referendum vote like Ireland instead of involving the lawyers and all that comes with them.

Yeah, the referendum vote worked out really well for LGTB men and women in California.... Prop 8, anyone?

That said, props to Ireland's people (and to the decline of the Catholic Church's influence on the nation). Hope they can get on the women's right to bodily autonomy thing next, so no more women die due to doctors refusing to treat a miscarriage properly.

So interesting your absolute lack of interest in the plight of women living in the Mid East, hmm what could be the difference with that situation?

Or does the right to abortion, DNC supercede the right to retain a clitorus or becoming a victim of an honor killing?

And I wish people could pay attention to the whole world instead of the squirrel that crosses the road every once in a while.

Tell us again how the Navy cook is as important as the Navy pilot. I love that story...

Or even better how your son passed on a full ride to LSU in Nuclear Engineering for a stint in the Navy as a Nuclear Technician. That's a good one too!

My life's path has had it's share of twists and turns, my dad was in the navy in WWII and he taught me respect for the brave men and women who serve, especially those who honor a commitment to country above personal gain. Growing up in the 60's, I became active in the Civil Rights movement and that led me to the anti-war movement which I embraced even though I saw hypocrisy in privileged youth who pretended to be anti war in order to avoid the draft. James Drought's great book, "the Secret" influenced my thinking leading me to the conclusion that wars are waged by the rich and powerful using the rest of us as pawns....still when I was drafted, I took that faithful step forward and became a pawn. I saw friends die but I was lucky and came back in one piece, and much more mature. People have mistaken me for anti-military, nothing could be further from the truth...I am pro-military, just anti rich and powerful...as Dylan sang...the "Masters of War" . Bottom line, I have the greatest respect for any young person who chooses service, even over a full ride to LSU...perhaps you should rethink this one Dell!
