Believe me, these are long-running conversations that take place and questions that come up in our house, too. I mean, hell, we've got kids, so you can imagine what that adds to it all.

But full disclosure: I probably can't have an unbiased opinion about DWS at this point, no matter the topic. Once she allied herself with Sheldon Adelson to kill medical marijuana reform in FL in 2014, that was pretty much it for me.
