Oh, but I have heard the quote. But, it was not the rottenness that was shining in the monlight, it was the mackerel. You see, a mackerel has silvery scales which make it shine in the moonlight, hence the imagery. So, if you had called me a rotten mackeral it might have worked, but since you didn't quite understand Sen. Randolph's original quote you kind of got it screwed up and tried to allude to shining rotteness, which makes as little sense as the rest of your post. You did a google search on "quote + rotten + shining" didn't you? Too funny. Keep trying, maybe one of these times you will put some words together accidentally, and actually sound half smart. There is nothing funnier than someone with limited skill with the language, that isn't aware of his own limitations. Back to you.
Good for you. I think I'll believe you, this time.

LOL! I don't believe this......

LOLOLOL! Go for it!

OK, you can quit now. You lose.

LOL! No, actually, I didn't. I recalled it from memory. So what? But let's not limit ourselves to the one metaphor, there are plenty we can coin for ourselves. And the point is, you were being positively rotten to the other posters, trying to paint them as Taliwhackers, as religious zealots clad in black, for objecting to what the HRC is up to.

Take your own advice sometime.

Oh, I totally agree. But that can be remedied with education, and it's nice to see you in there, trying. Keep it up, Grasshopper. The other way to go is actually to be nice to people and treat their POV as if they had a point.
In the case of the opponents of the HRC, they have just about all the points, and your posture of broadmindedness about lesbians' adopting is gainsaid by the actual experiences of kids who grew up in households like that -- and that isn't even counting the case of Paula Poundstone, who had her children taken away from her after she was arrested for performing a lewd act on her adoptive teenaged daughter (just giving her some hands-on instruction, no doubt).
It's bad policy, and you are doing the kids NO favors by pretending to be judicious and above the fray in the matter of gays' attempts to adopt.
Lesbians aren't nearly as bad as either heterosexual or homosexual men in the matter of molesting underage family members, but they do have something of a record; and homosexual men are absolutely unreliable around boys -- that's the record of 5,000 years of human experience with these guys.
