Dona, two xmases ago I was stranded in a blizzard in Milwaukee on my way to KC so I rented a car in Milwaukee and drove through the night to KC. Went through Des Moines then south to KC. Not quite the reverse of your drive, but close. Probably averaged about 100mph from Des Moines to KC.
“If the law is changed, successfully implementing repeal and assimilating openly homosexual Marines into the tightly woven fabric of our combat units has strong potential for disruption at the small unit level, as it will no doubt divert leadership attention away from an almost singular focus of preparing units for combat,” the Marine commandant, Gen. James Amos, told the Senate Armed Services Committee.”
Re DADT- honestly, if closeted homosexual Marines haven not been a problem for the Marines up to now, why should they be if DADT is thrown out. This is some of the dumbest reasoning I’ve ever heard. The only people with the problem are straight bigots.Amos is an idiot. Does he think gays are not already serving in the Marines, and have not done so since they began? Does he think they’ll wear pink tutus into combat and try to feel up their troop mates? That John McCain buys into this line of thinking is the final straw in killing any respect I had for him and his service to this country.

I just got a clarification from our compliance department about our document shredding policy. “DONT shred documents we are trying to save.”
