It did cause us to discuss the situation, however, I find symbolic bill writing to be a generally offensive activity. Instead of leading a real opposition to the war against Eastasia or is that Eurasia this week, he floats a little empty gesture, soon to be forgotten. Then when the inevitable shitstorm develops, he'll point to that as his opposition, well bullshit. Rep Rangel do you oppose American adventurism overseas? Did you oppose the Clinton bombings? Stand up and be counted if you oppose this war, you were elected to lead freaking lead, buttwipe. Of course, I could be off base but its better than being on the front end of a double play. wtf? I'll just leave that there, it'll mean something eventually.
