I think its stupid, no matter what side does it. Who was it that talked for like 29 hours straight? That's not a filibuster, thats a damn marathon! I never said they shouldn't have the right to do it, I just said its childish when its done.
"Police protection" is an oxymoron. Gun laws are like masturbation, they both feel really good, but after you're done you realize you haven't accomplished anything."

We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
