Apparently I'm the only one who likes to feel good about something in my country once in awhile.

Sorry 'Spode - wasn't directing my ire at you...

I feel good about things and I'm hopeful for the future. What they did was bullshit and I just wanted it noted. It really is completely unprecedented to sell the rights to what should be available to all Americans. Who gives them the "right" to sell it at all?? Its one of the most newsworthy events in the last . . . however long. It shouldn't have a "for sale" sign on it.
