It's a stupid argument anyway. Technically, they're also fighting for the right of heterosexuals to marry the same gender. Sure, it's not going to be a very useful right, but the conservatives are always pointing out that homosexuals have the right to marry the opposite gender like it's supposed to make everything alright.

This did start with the Pussy Riot news... you know that band that sang a song at a cathedral to piss off the church and got 2 years of jailtime because of it? Yeah, clearly there's nothing to fear there

They're also either lying about being "non-religious", they're pandering, or they're just viscerally feeling icky about the idea.

Juan Cole has just written article on the Pussy Riot case. Interestingly, he points out its distant correlation with the ongoing Syrian Crisis.

Of course, I've met my fair share of scientists who did not think critically and who did not analyze data with an open mind. I'm sure there are plenty of lawyers who would be capable of doing that. Generalizations can only go so far.

Hmm, I think Law is more about consistency, precedent and justice. Yes there are lawyers out there who are just in it to twist the rules for fun (and profit!), but I think they're just a highly visible minority.

Film director Tony Scott dead:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lano...ott-death.html Terrible news. I never thought he'd commit suicide. I sure love a number of his films, especially Top Gun and Crimson Tide which are cult movies for me. We'll surely miss his ability to direct entertaining movies. |
