I don't quibble. I'm stating fact. The words right of way
imply no compromise or doubt. Burdened/stand are not
enough to follow the rules.

Common courtesy is part of the starboard boat's responsibility
also. Sometimes (though rarely) the starboard boat should
give way.

Not liberal about what? Gay marriage?? Most people don't
consider the issue to be that important. A good economy?
I didn't realize that was a liberal-only agenda. Thanks for
clarifying. Not putting our military in harms way unless
absolutely necessary? I thought that was supposed to be
a non-partisan interest.

Very likely, but not in Congress for this coming election.
I don't mind a bit of grid lock. I think it's a good thing.
Bush will likely lose, and that's what we'll get. Then you
can blame Clinton, I mean Kerry.

I appeal when I lose?? Is there something wrong with
appealing judicial decisions? Isn't that what's supposed
to happen? It's called due process.

If we always went by the will of the people exclusively, we
would have some pretty bad things going on. That's why we
have three branches of gov't. They *balance* each other.
You complain about the judiciary, but the politicians are
the ones who appoint them and can remove them. Or,
they can change the Constitution. It's been done 17 times.
However, as an example, the gay marriage ban failed to
pass in the Senate. A half dozen or so Republicans, including
McCain, voted against it. Do will still blame the judges?
Don't you think we have better things to do that worry about
two guys pudding each other?

FYI, I was ardently in favor of the death penalty for years.
Now, I'm mildly against it. I think it's much more cruel to
force someone to live behind bars for crimes.

quibbling--take one lash.

If the liberals represent left wing or port tack, and
the conservatives are "right", the right wing or
starboard tack, and starboard tack has right of way
over port tack

1. Why are there so many collisions? [1pt]

It's everyone's responsibility to avoid collisions. Even if
the port tack boat does not give way, the starboard tack
boat must.

Ok, now back up your words with some common coutesy!

Can't there be a common ground? It all starts with being
honest and not an extremist.


*****************************************
2. Why do liberals fail to give way when they are
always in the wrong? [1 pt]

"Always" is the key word to understanding why this isn't a legitimate
question.

Ok, change that to "most often". The point here, is a majority
of the country is not liberal, yet you want to force your views on
them and call them stupid?

*****************************************
3. Why do liberals protest and lose? [1 pt]

Because they don't have the votes just yet. That will change.

No likely, that's why lies, swearing, and slander are the most
common responses. Intimidation tactics just shows you to be
an extremist, not an enlightened individual. Assumtions on
your part are equally unfair, as well as rude and disrespectful.
If you want your points to be considered objectively, then
use logic not slander.

*****************************************
4. Given that race appeals can be elevated to higher
courts, why other options do liberals have aside from
installing unfair judges to decide the outcome of race
protests? [2 pts]

I thought we don't have the votes? How does the minority
party "install" judges. I thought the pres submits names to
Congress, who then accept or reject them.

You appeal when you lose.

Do you think it is right that the majority of California supports
the death penalty, and the 9th circus court of appeals deliberately
counters this? This is not the will of the people.
