Comment Re:On tracking (Score 1) 111

This is nothing like 'the sky is falling' routine. And you never heard me say to surrender. It is only a point of information to act on. It's a simple fact that you are being tracked. And certificates still require a third party. And to me, a self signed certificate is a cookie. To be verified requires that you identify yourself. You can't be anonymous and certified/verified at the same time, unless it's a one-time cert. My only recommendation is to develop something better, not to give up.

Comment Re:Government Intervention (Score 1) 495

that's called corruption

No, it's not. It's called business. That is what government serves. It would be nice if the government served the general population, but nobody demands it. 98% of the voters find the present situation perfectly acceptable. If there is any corruption, it is in the home of those people, nowhere else.

I just found out that preview works over there also, so you can edit out the unicode crap that doesn't display. That's a hint for a couple of my friends who like to complain. Now, if I could only find the icons...

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.
