People elected as a member of one party should not be allowed to switch parties and keep their position. Their constituents elected them under certain assumptions, and I think it's wrong for the elected person to jump ship and bail on those assumptions. I think it's true regardless of which party they leave and which they join. If they want to switch for the next election, fine. If they want to switch and give up their position, fine. But I think it's profoundly dishonest to switch parties mid-term and keep the job.

Rar.

Also! Is there a way to answer comments directly? My other blog works that way and it's awesome but I don't see any 'reply' links in this format. FAIL, BLOGSPOT. FAIL. *sigh*

Aaaaaaaaanyway. PLEASE BUY HER HOUSE, KAMILLE. OR TAMMY'S. I'M NOT PICKY. As for the shrine, I moved out of that bedroom in 1995. It was completely redecorated for my sisters when they took it over, so while it was the refuge of my teen years, I have no actual personal investment in it any more. So, mostly I'm amused. Her obsessiveness toward her hobby makes me feel less of a freak in my obsessiveness. Of course, she produces beautifully functional things and I don't, but whatever. *grin*
