And, at the risk of getting blasted by the Single Issers, might I ask why gay marriage is so much more important an issue than a courageous strike on health benefits by vulnerable workers?

Where were the celebrity gay rights activists making high profile appearances on the picket line? Or contributing to a Strike Fund until it hurts as a way of building gay/progressive alliances?

Kevin Phillips is right; the social solidarity that governed the U.S. pre-Reagan is gone, probably forever, even on the left. "I got my issue, Jack, and I'm doing fine. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, you whiner; I've got a Mumia/Kevin Cooper/Pelletier rally to go to, so that I can then go home and watch myself on television."

Hell, the fuckers are probably all guilty anyway.
