There's a couple of points there: 1. There's a difference between societal toleration of a group that advocates the legalization of repugnant activity and toleration of the activity itself. 2. I daresay that NAMBLA membership isn't acceptable by the mores of our society. I mean, I don't know...

So again, where's the societal acceptance of pedophilia and bestiality now that sodomy is societally accepted?

So help me out here. As I perceive it, you think that if society permits the transfer of rights that we'll conveniently label marriage between two people of the same sex on the basis that there's no compelling state interest in interfering with their autonomy then it opens the door to the...

Either way, it still doesn't follow.

I think you can see that the distinction still applies. The two fact patterns are easily distinguishable-the line is easily drawn. In the case of same-sex marriage, you have two consenting parties. In the case of pedophilia, one party is incompetent to consent by law in every jurisdiction due...

The slippery slope argument to pedophilia and bestiality is poor logic. Allowing two consenting adults to enter into the contract of marriage is easily distinguishable from an adult and non-adult entering into that contract or an adult and a non-human. You have a better argument using incest as...

Your post has English words but the values you've assigned them make no sense. There is nothing more hideous than burnt orange. And yeah, this is Texas giving up on Darius White.

He's not asking them to learn English. He's telling them to stop using Spanish amongst themselves in private conversations.

Believe it or not, several of the hard line deregulators have been reversing their position of late. Alan Greenspan has admitted he was completely wrong about the derivatives market, particularly the practice of selling naked credit default swaps. Judge Posner posted some analysis on his blog...

Under HIPPA they're required to cover pre-existing conditions if you had prior creditable coverage.

Please. Professional school. :D And I'm relatively sure that there's not a plan in the world that'll cover your 35 year old law student kid-which is what describes me.

The group health plan available through the University costs ca. $1300 per year, which is pretty dang good. I agree that this is a fairly unsympathetic example. No idea on how long your parents' insurance will cover you if you're in school, I'm pretty sure mine won't cover me. :D

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the...

Thanks for the correction, you are correct.

I'm sure that it's already been said, but correlation is not causation. I'm interested if the authors of the study controlled for economic class, religious belief, education, intelligence, and political leanings in the parents-five factors right off the top of my head that would correlate...
