Then I'll make it simple for you, with somebody else's words, because he thought of them first:

...If you allow two consenting adults to get married and receive benefits from the government for marriage, then you fucking need to let any two consenting adults get married. This is why courts have almost all said, "Yeah, you don't have any fucking reason to stop those two guys from gettin' hitched. So let 'em."

Now, as for polygamy (or bestiality or whatever other kink someone wants to throw in), the law is clear: No one can engage in it. A man can't marry two or more women; a woman can't marry two or more women; etc. It doesn't matter if the parties involved are gay or straight or bi. If you said that only left-handed people can have polygamous marriages and no one else could (not righties or the ambidextrous), then that'd be using the law to discriminate. Nobody can get polygamied (or whatever the word is).

That is equal application of the law. It's applied universally. You can't marry your dog. You can't marry a baby. You can't marry a toaster. Nobody can, legally.

Damn right we want the law enforced equally, just like you..

Use that the next time some grandstanding drama queen wants to pretend she has something important to say.

Yeah, so I did.. You can't marry your high horse, but you are free to ride off into the sunset.

Just turn the wifi power down a bit, and don't bother trying to overclock it.

Yeah, but then the includes move in...

Damn! You were demoted?

will the bios power it up against my will?

Maybe

Like the bankers, too big to punish. Everybody should know who wears the pants in government-corporate relationships.

Success via Microsoft will not produce 'competition'. They're not getting 'free money'. It always comes with lots of strings.

Exactly. This is a government job. It's one of the things we hire it to do. We should replace it when it fails, as it is doing now. Turns out the corruption is at home.

Well gee, if you're gonna get picky...

No, the issue is pure corruption. The voters simply will not stop reelecting their favorite crooked politicians that 'bring home the bacon'. There is absolutely no technical reason for the lag.

Population density is bullshit. Damn near everyone in the US has, or had a telephone line running to their house, and every so often somebody squeezes higher bandwidth out of it. It is pure corruption that holds back progress.

government owned fiber

I still like copper. You don't need magic black boxes to use it. You can use a simple spark to get the message out.

Even 'natural' monopolies require government protection (police/military) of their exclusive claims to natural resources, like land and water and air. Those things are the 'means of production' that belong to everybody. Some cities are restricting water use to make sure there is enough for the bottling companies.

A four engine plane will land on no engines.

It looks and smells like oligopoly-based crony-capitalism controlling the strings...

All brought on by voters that won't kick out corrupt politicians. *We built this city.* Now we have to live with it or fix it. The choice is ours.
