This isn't "catering to me", but catering to logic. If you were running late to an appointment and your co-worker said, "you might not want to take the short route, there's an accident slowing up traffic, you're better off taking the longer route because you'll end up getting there quicker", which route would you take?
Answer the question...
The analogy doesn't fit, though. Here's the proper analogy:
If you were running late to an appointment and you've already moved through half of the traffic being held up because of an accident and your co-worker calls you on your cell phone and says, "you might not want to take the short route, there's an accident slowing up traffic, you're better off taking the longer route because you'll end up getting there quicker", which route would you take?
I would stay on the shorter route, because it makes no sense to turn around and start all over again.
I get that you're trying to show why starting the repeal of DADT wasn't "logical" to you because repealing a different law makes more sense to you. Unfortunately, that's not the route that the people working towards making a positive change in the military chose to take. There's absolutely no reason to abandon all of the progress that has been made in order to make you happy. Or make "logic" happy, if that terminology makes you feel better.
Now, though, all you're doing is screaming and crying that you don't support the repeal of DADT simply because you don't like the way they did it. That's immature, Alma.
Tell me how logical it is to abandon progress when the change is pretty much done in an effort to change a completely different law, then go back and start on DADT again? It makes no sense. There are no rules on the order that change has to be made. There is nothing saying that if DADT is changed, the sodomy laws cannot also be changed. I don't know why you're so tenaciously holding on to this tact, as it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
No, wait. I do understand. You're doing it because, really, it's all you've got once you realized that homosexuals actually can be kicked out of the military for simply admitting that they are homosexual. When no one believed your delusions that it wasn't true, that you could say you were homosexual and it didn't matter, you decided to try a different tact, and it failed just as utterly.
