Really? I see that as a sign of our country's cohesiveness. Compared to many countries, both of our parties are pretty moderate. We have plenty of controversial issues to fight about, but you'll rarely find a successful politician that is pure conservative or pure liberal. We swing back and forth a little based on whose currently in power and screwing things up, but sharp differences are pretty heavily punished. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
