"Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside

And it is ragin'.

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin'."

You need a governor who is willing to take on those tough fights and not a governor who just uses you as a pawn...you need a governor who is willing to get out front on controversial issues.

"You're going to need a governor who is truly interested..not one who is interested, and then six months later walks away [on some] quixotic [mission].

They resemble the classic fallacy that "My granddad smoked cigars all his life and was healthy until he died at the age of 97, so smoking isn't dangerous." Such a fallacy is clearly not rectified by accumulating lots of examples - we could easily find many grandfathers who had smoked heavily and liven into their late nineties, but still this is no argument for smoking not being dangerous. The argument fails because it systematically neglects all the men who...

by coincidence, i had some time and could alter my route, so i decided to drive down haight street around 9:15am (instead of fell), specifically to see how many street people were around (spring usually brings a big influx)... at that time, there aren't yet many stores open or tourists on the street and most 9-5ers are already at work, so you usually see a large group of the homeless by choice (that is, the younger homeless, what bitter old men call narco nomads)... at least this was true...
