I have never met a demon who I wasnt a good bit smarter then.

I also have it on pretty good authority that god isnt much of a dice player so if it comes down to it, I think that Ill take him to the craps table.

I agree completely, koan. I also think that the western world is less violent than years gone by. Most people just dont revel in the slaughter of the women and children of their enemies, most people dont view other races and nationalities as being subhuman.

actually saying the last word first is kind of meaningless, normally it just means no one wants to talk to you as no words followed the words you first used.

john8pies,

the real issue here is by killing the filibuster a narrow majority can do whatever they want. bush will be more powerful if this goes through. currently the filibuster is the only thing that keeps the republicans in check as it requires a supermajority to break.

the nukleur option is crap. it is mostly illegal and goes against the actual law that set up the filibuster. a 60 percent vote is needed in order to the filibuster rule, using a point of order is low handed and will ruin the senate as the place of compromise.
