I'd say you have much more faith in society than I have at this point. Given the overly litigious charachter of modern American society, the law would have to be carefully crafted to designate OFFICIALLY what is specifically considered a form of disc...  [Read More]

Actually, unisex bathrooms are only the logical conclusion and extension of such a law. By marking a restroom as only male or female, you are by definition discriminating against anyone that doesn't fit in that category. If you uphold that any form o...  [Read More]

Frankly, it all seems political to me and just another black mark against the value of the prize itself. Also, I agree with you, DE, that perhaps they should create another category. How to talk to climate sceptics-----just shut up and listen :xp...  [Read More]

As regards nonviolent offenders, house arrest and community service seems like a much better idea (keeps the lib judges happy and minimizes the pressure on jail overcrowding). Always thought that minimum sentencing guidelines were a bit draconian and...  [Read More]
