It is not difficult at all to hate the United States Senate

'Gay and lesbian soldiers will not stop fighting and dying on foreign battlefields all over the planet as a result of this vote. They will simply do so in secret. ... Those who voted to prevent a final vote on the Defense Authorization Act claim to honor the sacrifices of America's service members while demanding they bleed to death in the closet. They voted to ensure that the partners and families of those who have committed to giving their lives in service to this country receive no recognition, financial or otherwise, of what they have lost.'

-- Adam Serwer, "DADT Repeal Fails"

Where at least we're going to see some improvement, even if we can't yet measure up to you Canadians. But y'all are a socialist utopia, after all.

Yes we are : ) . Our house mate is self employed and has cancer for the third time. I think in the US she be in financial trouble. But there are many things not perfect in Canada either. I do have a cousin who left the US Navy and is now in the Merchant Marines because he's gay.
