One of the great ironies.. the east coast has a good watershead and extremely fertile land, but we moved so large chunks of our agriculture to regions with crappy land.
"Crappy" is defined by more than fertility. What California's land has lots of, that the East Coast doesn't have as much of, is sunshine, which is even more difficult to ship around from place to place than water.
Haven't you been alive long enough to realize that ANY scientific "thing" will be used to destroy, maim and enslave?
Haven't you? So what are you suggesting, a halt to all science?
Well, from the Chik-fil-a and other boycotts, I get the impression that the gay rights advocates strongly support the idea of boycotting a business based on what they believe. Yet, the intention here is that the business not have the same rights-- to refuse service because of their customer's beliefs. Is bizarre system truly what is wanted, or is it a double standard because THEIR beliefs are "correct"?
I believe that the important distinction is that Chik-Fil-A is a corporation. It is a legal fiction the enjoys the empowerments and protections granted it by the state. IMO, as such, it is at least partially an agent of the state, and thus should not be permitted to discriminate. If you're a little mom-and-pop store that isn't incorporated, then go ahead and discriminate, if you ask me, as repugnant and unethical as I might personally find that to be.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
