Word

"We are all the same people, all of us. You're no different than I am. Our love is the same. When someone says, 'You can have a contract, and you'll still have insurance, and you'll get all that,' it sounds to me like saying, 'Well, you can sit there, you just can't sit there.'" -Ellen DeGeneres

I saw this, too, and was very impressed at the simplicity of the "you can sit there, you just can't sit there" analogy. It really drives home that this is a civil rights issue. I cannot believe the gall of John McCain to sit there and tell Ellen to her face that they simply have a "respectful" disagreement on the issue. It made me so mad!! He couldn't even look her in the eyes. That is not respect.
