which goes well with your general disdain for organized labor. What you have not answered though is why this particular type of freedom of association should be banned when others are not.

I think the IRS, and the general expansion of the administrative state, offer literally hundreds of thousands of reasons why.

If someone choses of their own free will to be part of a union how is that different from choosing of their own free will to be a member of a specific church?

Crazy thing is, we don't have churches making decisions about how to regulate the lives of random people. I really don't know how to make this distinction more obvious to the oblivious.

My point is that the whole "morally blameworthy" is excessively squishy.

Only for the rationalizing sack of crap in the crowd, or those who place religious levels of faith in the state.

your original thesis here is that if the high capacity magazine ban where equally enforced (and existed where the interview you mention took place) then your Mr. Gregory would be expecting to serve jail time.

The other direction the reaction could go is that people say "Ah, all of these DC abridgements of the Second Amendment are a pile of crap, and we should strike them."
Whacky thing is, the state never seems to just relinquish power, and let liberty flower. . .

in opposition to your political ambition of putting all government employees out of work

Oh, far from it!
[tasteless_joke] I'd rather put all government employees in work camps [/tasteless_joke]
By which I really mean to say, if you're just going to ascribe ambitions to me wantonly, why not go big?

you would still be a government employee working for the community college.

If one enjoys teaching, is it really work?

Although it seems a lot of your heroes have been collecting checks from the government for some time, so maybe that doesn't bother you.

Are you asserting that government employees should work for free? Wouldn't that be, essentially, stealing their labor from them? A shockingly immoral thought.

Are you referring to?

Criminal law should be used only if a person intentionally flouts the law or engages in conduct that is morally blameworthy or dangerous.

For example, cannibalism and child molestation are two taboos that remain substantially beyond the pale.

What marriage issue? Marriage remains marriage, despite the liars. The real bummer on the equality front is that the analysis has not arrived at the libertarian realization that marriage should not be a province of the state, period.
Instead, we have the spectacle of one definition of 'Morality' being supplanted by another, and you sanctimoniously pretending that it's not an equal and opposite imposition. [golf clap]

How does the interface allow everyone to edit, browse the edits, and filter the edits such that the true sphincter-boys and -girls can still have their say, and also be totally attenuated?
That, I submit, is the UI challenge. Silence no one, but let idiocy itself get squelched.

You also just recently bitched about how much you despise community college.

The last time I thought about community college, I was wondering to myself if I could convince the wife to move out west, where I'm from, and live a relaxed rural existence and teach a little Comp Sci at SWOCC. Perhaps you've confused me with another of your compadres.
