Well, you can always move to China, Cuba, or North Korea, where I can assure you the Catholic Church has little influence. Conservatism is good, Tom. Not perfect, but good. I think you bean counters at memestreams really ought to lose your delusions of importance as political analysts. Go back to recomminding things. That was the intent of the site. Now we have a few assholes (led by you, the king of the assholes) who exclusively use the site as a political forum. It's stupid, divisive and not even amusing. Really, you'd do better to help this thing realize its full potential, rather than stifling it under a wash of liberal rhetoric. This recommends nothing to me, nor is it particularly enlightening.
