At that time, it was very common practice for men to sleep in the same beds with other men for years and they openly expressed love and affection for one another in letters and exchanges. For example, there continues to be speculation as a result of his extremely close relationship with Joshua Speed, "a lifelong friend," as to whether Abraham Lincoln was gay.

If you look even 50 years ago in sports, there's a dramatic difference. There's plenty of pictures that have stuff like full arm-over-shoulder embracing, rather than the pat on the back of today.

And then there's Brett Favre, who feels the need to swat every man in the country on the ass at least once.

Can you imagine the State of the Union? Every part of her platform that passes would be cause for praise. Everything that went down to defeat would result in crying in a feeble attempt to win the argument.
That's to say nothing of the fact that the energy bills would skyrocket as a result of alternating the thermostat from 62 to 84 degrees all the time.

I really hope your post about not voting for a woman for President was sarcasm, and you just failed to use the sarcasm emoticon/emoticons.
