I wonder if it's not time to take a different approach to the battle...
Sometimes to teach children you have to actually let them touch that stove or eat candy until they puke.

I wonder what would happen if pushed the very extreme edges of what republicans claim to want.

I wonder how parents would feel if their children were FORCED to attend Bible study in public schools?

I wonder how Americans would feel if each day at work they FORCED to recite the pledge of allegience?

I wonder how Americans would feel if we made Christianity the OFFICIAL religion of the US and closed down all the bars and gambling joints?

You know, the reasons that civil right, worker protections, safety nets, and other services came about was because people got tired of NOT HAVING THEM.

(I realize that this is just silly stuff I am saying but I really wonder how "great" America really would be if we gave them EXACTLY what they wanted....in abundance.)
