"Gonzales and Yoo were fine choices"
If I look at it from your perspective, it makes sense.

I liked your well-reasoned post. I see you are in your "caring" mode. And you could be right.
I can't imagine the energy and strength to SAVE what is coming to us, let alone turn it around or fix it. But I'm sure the generations beneath us will survive, just as we do.
Remember, it wasn't more than 150 years ago that we were all getting around in horse and buggy, beating our clothes against a rock and dying of diptheria and pneumonia. Look how far we've come.
