175. There's lots of things I wish my party would stand up for
that they don't, or are wishy-washy as F*ck about.

Frankly, I want them to clearly stand up for the principle that adults should have total self-determination rights about their own bodies in so far as they are in the privacy of their own homes and don't impact anyone else's liberty. If a duffer with bone cancer in Oregon wants a dignified, pain-free exit, why the hell should John Ashcroft have any say in the matter? If a chemo patient wants to smoke pot (or anyone else over the age of 21, for that matter) what the hell is the government doing involved in any way, shape, or form? If two gay people want to get married, it should be a cause for celebration, not hysteria.

But if they ditch reproductive freedom and choice, I'm gone.
