I don't see anywhere in that article that mentions the party affiliation of the city board of supervisors. Allowing something like that under their existing health network program is a bit different than passing a state/federal bill making it a public entitlement but if I had been on that board of supervisors I would have voted against it (and I'm gay). I can't imagine anyone in the current democratic party that would consider bringing something similar to this to a national bill.

2 birds with 1 stone Serious though, the man would be retarded not to do so given some of the mass distortion being church networked.

Your situation sounds like half the people I know. That's why I said there should be a public higher education system where the students don't pay tuition (they would only have to cover lab/workbook type fees which any scholarships or grants could be applied toward).

A society benefits when it's population is educated and healthy. The democrats get this.
