Sophist---I think you are totaly mis-reading me, and your lack of belief in the genuinity of my responses is both frustrating and something that I have no control over.  I'm sorry you feel as thought I'm being ingenuine.
This isn't a matter of me thinking you are or aren't genuine.  I never questioned your intent or reason for your beliefs, in fact from the many, many posts of yours I have read, I know you well, and I know for a fact you speak your heart.  That being said, I feel like you are just trying to win an argument here rather than admit that you jumped the gun on her (and wanting to win the argument is great, I get that).  
Can we talk about the Dead?  I'd love to talk about the fucking Grateful Dead, for once, can we please discuss the Grateful FUCKING Dead!?!?!?!

Oh, if that's what you mean, then yeah I agree that the debate has changed my mind a little bit and I worded it too strongly.  At the same time, I do still think that my concern that I expressed is very valid, and that it is frustrating to see this administration play "politics as usual" when they promised from the outset that this would be an "administration of change".  While I wouldn't say something rediculous like "this is the worst presidency ever", I would say that "this is not what was sold to us" and that is super lame.

I may have sounded like I was trying to win an argument, but really what I wanted was for my perspective to at least be slightly validated.  I think there was a huge miscommunication there when we digressed into discussing how horribly I got pwn3d.

gah

That should tell you something about yourself.
Sometimes we live no particular way but our own.

I don't really see how this is 'politics as usual'. she's well qualified. politics as usually might have been clarence thomas, who had very little federal bench experience when he was appointed.

seriously, who would you have appointed?
