I’m with Les — the current “I guess all our problems are solved, or at least pale in comparison to the Awesome Evils That Are Gay Marriage and Flag Burning” song being played in Washington is nothing more than an attempt to distract folks from, well, all the problems that aren’t solved, and the political party that’s had five-plus years of unprecedented authority and opportunity to solve them (or at least not make them worse).
Regarding the Federal Marriage Amendment, I’ve already (if likely fruitlessly) contacted my representatives.
