Posted: 1/29/10 at 12:14amI was SUCH an optimistic before I got into politics. Now I'm just pissimistic. (misspelling intentional)
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

How is this surprising? He's not for gay marriage, and I don't think he ever said or implied he was - he's one of those "compromise on civil unions" types, though I hold out hope that his mind can be changed eventually if he sees separate isn't equal. (The NJ debacle can be good for something in the long term.) For now, I'm hoping he can pick it up in areas like DADA/DOMA, at least.

He can never change, unless he figures out some way to take God back OUT of the equation.
If he changes now, he'll be seen as compromising his "religious" beliefs--or having said them merely for political expediency.

Posted: 1/30/10 at 3:36pmIt's not a high hope of mine - more of a pie in the sky - but I won't say it's impossible.
