Actually, most of the U.S. is purple...neither far to the left, nor far to the right, but trying to do its best to hold on to a middle ground with radicals on either side pushing and shoving at us. Unfortunately, the middle grounders tend to be silent, for the most part, which gives the impression the majority doesn't exist and that gives an illusion of power to a minority of people. Too bad, really. As for the new guidelines. I don't care. Never did a graphic with a child, have no interest in children, could not care less about fairies of any age or sex. Maybe the guidelines are too extreme, but I suspect they came about because someone somewhere pushed at TOS until it finally broke down and had to be rebuilt of sturdier stuff. Shrug. Until I run my own site, or find one better suited to my ill-nature, I'm willing to play by the rules.
