    @hyblaean

    Using, I suppose, what masquerades as some sort of "logic," hyblaean concludes: "Believe it or not, everything is not about you, and your needs."

    The official Republican platform wants to limit basic civil rights for a portion of the population that numbers in the millions.

    But, yeah, it's probably not about their selfish needs either. Maybe hyblaean could write back and let us know what everything IS about.
