Bull. It's all about control. I grew up in a very conservative area myself and they encouraged brownbagging it. Everybody did it.
Strip away the facade, and most everything about most everybody in the current Democratic Party is all about control, not freedom.
It's disgraceful to see the Democratic Party emulating Social Democrats overseas. Once they reach the stage where they are mostly all Social Democrats, which could take anywhere from 10-25 more years, it's just a matter of time before they start emulating Socialists. This "progression" needs to be stopped dead in its track RIGHT NOW with the defeat of Barack Obama.
