More important than EVER! I see far too much of the younger generation, young snot-nosed whipper-snappers like paul ryan and eric cantor who aren't old enough to remember (and they probably slept through the later American History class sessions covering the first half of the 20th Century) WHY we need the regulations and protections that were implemented - with the New Deal, for example. They DEFINITELY don't have any sense of WHY Roe v Wade was so essential to women's rights later on, and how many women died from back alley abortions back in the day. They have NO idea. Not a damn clue. All they want to do is tear down, tear up, and tear apart.

You're fighting the good fight on all of our behalf. And you deserve all our gratitude! (And a few million people following in your footsteps!)

Pretending guns don't harm is absurd BainsBane Jul 2013 #40

Dangerous humans don't seem to care about gun control laws. friendly_iconoclast Jul 2013 #57

And there's that incantation again: "NRA talking point" friendly_iconoclast Jul 2013 #67
