Godspeed Sally :rose

No shit.

Way back then I would actually stay home from work to watch NASA launches and Sally was always so cool.

I was going to say "have a great trip," but gee, she's already there!

What Reagan said about the Challenger crew kinda fits here as well, as she has "slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God."

Godspeed, Sally.

America loves her so much, it will deny death benefits to her partner because she was gay. So...way to cherish your heroes, America!

America is the people, and the territory, not the government.

Don't confuse them.

Love the first two, fear the last.

The people hate gays (at least the majority still do), the territory is where they live, and the government is the one who sponsored/upheld DOMA. I'm a bit confused here?

I hate to give you the trite reply, but:

If you don't like the people, the country, or the government...

Why are you here?
