I disagree with your first paragraph. I want to say that if the majority thinks it's a good idea to ban abortion then it should allowed. But I just can't. Because for those that can't afford to travel to that states that allow it, banned abortion is a real problem. (I, morally and ethically, lean strongly toward pro-life, but politically I just have to lean pro-choice.) I want to think that people would move to where their values are, but it's more complicated than that. Connection to land, economics, family, etc all keep people in a place that may not line up with their political values.
Hmmm.... I would love to hear more about why you think McCain is a tool. If I haven't expressed it, I really value your opinions and thoughts in these matters. Even if I don't agree all the time. I mean, I have an especially hard time not feeling waaaay more optimistic about the next president, even if few people are as equipped for the job as I'd like. Hell, a person just can't be more UNprepared for the job than GW - and we're all still alive.... except for the people who aren't. But, you know.
