I think the majority decision is a correct application of the 14th Amendment. However, Scalia is on solid ground too, because he defines his approach to the Constitution in terms of authorial intent, and he's undoubtedly correct that the 14th Amendment was not intended to extend to gays. But in my view, and in the…

The Hobbit. I think it will happen, but not for a long while.

Pretty sure it's a highbrow pun.

Be sure to tip your fedora when you tell her how to be a professional actor. It's the classy thing to do!

I still choose to believe I won't, despite all evidence to the contrary. There's always a first!

I would say this is a moot point because who buys a General Lee toy, but I was at a young person's Eagle Scout ceremony recently in which there was a toy General Lee featured. He made it himself, though, which seems fine.

"So practically the entire city of Atlanta was a "plantantion house" built by slave labor?"

Trivia Crack is such a poorly-curated trivia game.

My first job was at Sonic over ten years ago, and if the hygiene standards there are typical and unchanged, I caution you to avoid it altogether.

Agreed.

It would still be pretty tiresome to mention it regularly! Especially if it was your job to talk about it.

In American culture, it's not unusual for people to have significant and open ideological disagreements with their families.

But that's no reason to doubt that his critiques of Wall Street are genuine.

"But why does he condemn Wall Street when his own brother is a CEO there?" I mean, why not? Do you approve of everything your sibling does? If your sibling were a garbage collector, would you mention them every time you talked about trash or recycling? Would you be hiding something if you didn't?

I'm telling you there's not a contradiction between his criticisms of Wall Street and his wealth.

I don't think being wealthy implies a corporate mentality or solidarity of ideology with corporations. Not even all corporations subscribe to the same political philosophy.

I guess it doesn't make much difference to you that at the very beginning of his monologue in this clip, he observes that "cha-ching" is a key part of his daily routine.

It's my opinion, my best guess as a non-expert, that mental illness (perhaps I should actually say mental structure) is the root of most violence (if I'm being precise, the root of everything). It is certainly not my intent to suggest that all or most people with mental illnesses are violent. I do not believe that to…

I'd like that to be the case. I'm fine with a debate about prioritization. But what I see, and bemoan, is dichotomization.

Graciousness seems in short supply, and I bemoan its lack! That was really the very thrust of my OP. :)
