Fair point. But, given the emotional resonance of the issue and the zealotry by small groups on both sides, I think it will be enough.

Again, the vast majority of voters aren't going to vote based on a "small" issue like choice but, for some, it will be the ONLY issue that matters.

Oderint, dum metuant.


You are a god damned idiot, you know that? You ought to be smacked upside your dumb-fuck head, even after all these years. Shame on you!
