Is a homosexual, minority, disabled vet with PTSD person, with massive food allergies, who is an unemployed whole lotta Rosie.
This benighted person is on the receiving end of more bias, bigotry, and prejudice than anyone else.
I must publicly scourge myself, as penance for my direct and indirect contributions to her hypothetical plight.
Because I am bad, and she is a victim.

I'm with you on that. No limitations. I'm a data guy, and I don't see why we shouldn't have a federal civil unions law, that allows registration of full households online without any other human intervention, with self defined term limits and no limits on number, gender, species, or genus of participants. What do I care if somebody wants to invent a religion where they can marry a building? Or if a commune of 47 people, 5 dogs, and 2 cats want to have a registered civil union household under tax law?

I could have sworn everybody laughed at me when I predicted this oh, 15 years ago.

You should consider who your waves will hurt. It is not possible to take action without doing harm.

No, look: BHO was the most oversold thing since XML. You cannot have the media equating him with some epiphany FOR YEARS and then fail to own it.
There are high school volleyball captains with more leadership chops than BHO, whom I like to call #OccupyResoluteDesk over on Twitter.
However, I will allow some amusement in watching the apologists oscillate between praising his Super Genius and attempting to explain that, well, he's really the Queen of England. Thanks!

I don't carry jack, boss. But I do note attempts at guilt dispersal as a means of separating friend from foe.

Also, nice to know you consider Huffington Post and local news stations such as KGW to be as unreliable as Fox. Never claim to be a liberal again to me, you're just another Conspiracy Theorist.

And they wouldn't be a threat if their privileged status wasn't endangered. Privilege exists for a REASON. Isn't it better to try to figure that reason out before destroying for the fun of it?

"close in age couples" in most states means less than three months difference, not three years difference. We now know the human brain doesn't stop developing for nearly twenty five years after birth, and there is a HUGE cognitive difference in understanding between a fifteen year old and an eighteen year old.

There still isn't a "magic number" that divides adulthood from childhood, the individual development of the prefrontal cortex can be complete as early as 17, as late as 25, and the bell curve centers on 21.

But it isn't just "backwater prudes" either, there actually is some science behind it.

Well, given that this administration is about campaigning, not governance, it's clear that metric proponents need to recast themselves as a victim group, and start delivering some votes.
Strong possibilities include:

• Tying traditional measurements to Tradition, which is evil in the face of Holy Progress
• Pointing out that 'feet', 'yards', and 'miles' are associated with patriarchal oppression structures.
• And don't neglect the race card. Those units were implemented by white males, and are thus tinged with the scourge of slavery.

I'm having the vague feeling that I can't tell if I'm trolling here, or drafting notes for a Progressive strategy session.

This wasn't even fox. But I've seen enough enough violence to know when a civil war is being started.

Are you saying you can't see what is right in front of your face (and notice, not a single one of those news sources was FOX!).

The one that was most ironic, was the group of gays who attacked Holy Redeemer in San Francisco over Prop 8- that church runs an AIDS hospice.

Try harder.

Well, not yet anyway. But do enough of this, and the day is coming when we'll see heterosexuals being as illegal as mexicans.

Yet

The whole is better than the sum of the parts if everyone specializes and optimizes One Cool Thing.
