Feel the love:

"The Israelites were commanded as part of the law given to Moses and Aaron: "If a man lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Leviticus 20:13. In the beginning, those who were found guilty of such a sin were simply executed. God's opinion of the act of homosexuality was that it was a sin worthy of death."

This type of militant bigoted behavior isn't restricted to Islamic extremists, evidently Christians are also guilty. You can email or call the author: mailto:jasper@mountaineagle.com or 205-221-2840.

This may seem like apple and oranges, but it's all about the slippery slope ... and forgive the mashed metaphor.
Since I've already mashed the metaphor, let me put it this way: IMHO the thin edge of the wedge is slobbering thugs like the troglodytes in "debate" who are entirely /not/ ignorant, or uneducated, or illiterate, or cretinous ... however we depict the pathology, we have to make sure that community standards (low as they are) engage the typical citizen's entirely sufficient sense of what is hateful and vindictive; when that standard erodes and gives way, then the stage is set for scape-goatism ... and then we're into an entirely illiberal time.

That guy needs to quit picking at his face! ;-)

Hmm. I wonder how I have fallen into that trap myself...

If I've spent wey too much time on this dis-ease in my life, it's because I want to find the root-stem of the imbalance.

Something about pessimism concerning human nature, and something about disbelief in causality ... as though facts and actualities don't matter.

Hey did you pick up my mention of this text on the rhetorics of economics in post modernism *scuze me while I rinse my mouth* ... the author goes on to proprose that the role of economics is "to convince and persuade".
Would you buy a heart valve from someone with that as their prime directive?!
