The CDC says that 70% of all syphilis cases in this country are found in,quoting the CDC website,”men who have sex with men”.The pathologist that does *that* autopsy had better double glove.

I might say something not nice, so I’ll say something else.

So, there’s an I-490 in Ohio, too, and it’s not connected to the one in NY.

Too late.There's no reason to believe that he changed his "misguided" ways before death.

Yup.All the main Interstates (5,10,70,80,90,95,etc) have spur roads in more than one state.For example,there's an "I-495" in MA,NY,MD and FL.

“Hello, Darren .... this is God speaking. Remember all those people who told you I didn’t much care for sodomy? Well, they were correct. And, remember all those people who told you I really get angry when people spit at my Word. Well, they were correct also. Now ... seeing as I have determined it is YOUR time to answer for your life, let’s talk about things ...”

Activist since 2007???

Romney was campaigning on ending DADT back in 1994.

"One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share."
