[QUOTE="owassopilot, post: 1447011, member: 16273"] I wanted to respond to this, but felt the thread needed to slow down a bit. Veggie, I can see your points and understand you view things as a realist. But I think you missed mine altogether. My point was actually pretty simple. Some historical things are happening, both in Oklahoma, and the U.S. The point in mentioning having Gov. Fallin was not intended to create a battle of the sexes...let's get past that. It was intented to point out this has never occured before. There is something to be said about that, and I personally think it's a good thing. The fact that both chambers are Replublican is only to point out that it has NEVER happened before in Oklahoma. EVER! It's a very historical thing. From a national standpoint, the Nov elections were amazing. It was mentioned many times over how historical it was and the amount of seats Republicans took over in the house in a single election has NEVER been done before. At the end of the day, my post really had little to do with details of who votes how, but rather the bigger picture of what is going on. When you see these types of things happening, there is something big on the way. The special interest groups, including the NRA, played very little role in what happened. What happened, I believe, is the beginning of the people retaking rights from the goverment that we have lost. Yes, it will be a long process, and I'm sure we'll experience setbacks. But don't ever doubt that the people have the power, and when we get angry enough, things can change for the better. This IS a battle worth fighting, from a big picture standpoint. Now, at the end of the year, you could very well be right about all the proposed laws changing the SDA, but I would like to think that this momentum experienced recently has the chance to grow, and I'm convinced if enough people make their voice heard on this issue, our representatives will listen. I think these last elections got their attention. You have the right to be a realist, but I have the right to be an optimist. We can sit here and complain all we want about our country and how our rights are being taken away...and they are. But let's be honest...we still have the best country in the world. No government anywhere on the planet will ever be perfect, but you don't find many governements where you have peaceful transfer of power and the ability for the people to get our goverment's attention in a peaceful way, such as what happened in November. *steps off soap box* :thanku: [/QUOTE]
