quote [ A record-breaking number of poppy sales has led to a potential poppy shortage in Canada.
With four days to go until Remembrance Day, CBC News reports 19 million poppies have already been sold across the country this year. Last year, the campaign distributed 18 million. ] That's because they fall out the you buy another. That and everyone is wearing one

Funny. I find conservatives both heartless and brainless at all ages. But only in the U.S. and other scary, right-leaning countries.
You are correct that our Dems are right-leaning, but good luck convincing the conservatives of that. They are dead set insisting the country is moving left (i.e. they have not been able to halt progress/change entirely), yet our Dems are Eisenhower Republicans.
It's easy for me to vote because there's an obvious lesser evil, but a lifetime of the American system has trained me not to expect a party to ever actually represent my political preferences. Otherwise we'd all be doing drugs and marrying people who want to live out their life as a horse or something (or whatever your dream is).
