That no one can really remember how the gay threads got to the Parking Lot in the first place is reason enough, imo, to move the surviving one out of there.
I wasn't the OP on that one ("Fallout"). It started with S.Maniac recounting how his game night had fallen apart and wondering about what other personal fallout people had experienced. Hardly seems like Parking Lot material to me, but I can't claim to know what was on his mind at the time.
In any event, though my memory's not the best by any stretch, I believe one or more of the preceding Prop 8 threads got moved to the Parking Lot, and perhaps one reason those didn't survive the transition were because of some nastiness within.
I just think it's time we pulled the ongoing discussion out of there. I started a thread in the Lounge ... though I suppose the Daily Grind might have been more appropriate. It's a toss-up. I've always regretted, for example, that gay marriage ... which should be about love ... is considered all about politics.
But I admit ... Neph's supportive philosophy expressed in this thread led me to err on the side of putting the new thread where she'd be allowed to participate. This very thread itself is arguable political. Don't Ask Don't Tell is a government policy about the U.S. Military.
Heheh, Keith Olbermann said Obama was "goddamn wrong" about his stance on DADT. Um, yeah, 75% of the American People think the policy should be repealed. Obama says he agrees. He can stop the losses (over 260 since he took office alone) with the stroke of a pen. I call that cowardly and craven.
When Eisenhower integrated the armed services, only 12% of Americans were in favor of that. The right thing to do is the right thing to do.
