Both sides are narcissitically opposed to doing what's best for the kids. This issue shows very clearly that BOTH sides, the Shrubs and the MoveOn-ers, are cut from the same whole cloth. BOTH are steeped in the self-centered, flag-waving bullshit of the 50s and 60s (one's a freak flag but no real difference), both grew up in the Me-generation, chemically-fogged 70s, both got greedy in the go-go 80s, both found God to handle their trust funds in the 90s. Now it's the New World Order and each side needs the other to maintain its low moral ground.
