The penalty for scaring a cop is death. Statistically driving a cab is more dangerous Than being a police officer.
My folk theory is that gay men take the brunt of the violence/homophobia but no stats in front of me [if only I could figure out google] . I had a student once a young woman in an all-female sexual relationship she said "Two dudes is an abomination before God. Two chicks is sexy". In the Courts and Market I think gay men are more likely to have the cheddar to get the cheddar than Gay women or women in general.
Two incomes at male wages no kids is a thing but a lot of gay households look nothing like that. The Lady-gays for instance.

With a carbon nano infrastructure the place is a dream huge floating cities with tubes trailing into the thick air siphoning up co2 to crack into structural carbon and breathing-lifting gas. N to make anhydrous for the hydroponics. Is there a good source for hydrogen? Crack it off the acids I guess?
Although they are only trace so ... Huge through put condensers? The wind is alReady at hurricane so it doesn't have to be powered. I am up for it when are we going?
I am a Fabian situationist a Veblenist a Union guy, I believe the world should contain all worlds, I am a localist , a anti-nationalist, an Anarchist, I believe the bullies are the bad guys and that people with power are more at fault for the state of things than the powerless. I believe Capitalism is alien and alienating to homo sapiens. I believe that the state was invented for the purpose of War and that cops do more harm than good regardless of their intentions. I believe social class and wealth have no positive correlation with any sort of virtue. I believe generosity and kindness should be the default positions.
I made a surface water cellular automata and a ABM about gardening in the past week. I also made Brussels sprouts kimchi and some fermented dill pickles. They are gone.

My wife sez we can't have it today because of something called hypertension. I also like kale and eggs quite a bit
I wish that therapy worked. I wish my common response "life is a swindle" was reassuring because that is what I want to be. Ideas that are too powerful become cliches -I am sorry for your loss- -my condolences- They mean I mourn with you and I do. luckily we evolved to see things as beautiful.
My Second wife is much less traditionally attractive than my First. (I hope neither ever read this) I love her more than I ever could have loved my first one. Not for the calypso reasons but because she is a better person. (one that is not doing me a favor by being married to me.) She is also smarter and funnier so there is that.
I was doing both sides of the game theory conversation. It is little bit of a sick joke. What it comes down to is that game theory does not need to be debunked because it has never been bunked. There is nothing empirical to back it up.
Even on the 'left' the current trend in America is Libertarian hence Marriage Equality and Legalized Pot making traction but poverty issues being ignored. Hopefully it swings back before more generations are lost. Although we should keep the Marriage Equality and Legalized Pot.

I used to think I would never date a man but now I think I would go to a movie, hold hands a little, share popcorn etc. but not go any farther.

Not a Date but once a Male friend and work and I decided to catch a movie together. We had never hung-out outside of work we watched Velvet Goldmine.
I think both of us spent the whole movie trying to remember which one of us suggested it.
Watchmen is the last comic with capes book I read.
In the early to mid-eighties I read them voraciously and uncritically Marvel, DC, Charlton everything. A friend of mines older brother (the same guy who made me listen to The Jesus and Mary Chains Black and White, ruining pop music for me) said "hey Jake you like comics right?". We loaned me his Watchman I read it that night if I remember right (the 80's were what 15 - 20 years ago?). I read it and promptly lost interest in comics books. Poof gone. I don't know if I should be grateful. In the 90's I did my bit in the indie confessional b/w comics scene and a draw a comic today but superheroes meh.
Pardoning people for being gay is like pardoning them for existing.
in my own reductionist social theory decisions are made thus. Folks treat folks in their in group in a egalitarian and generous manner and treat everyone else shoddily. for partisans party members are the in-group. for racists members of their race. nationalists their nation. on and on. The true test of liberality is to treat everyone as a member of the in group simply because they are human. this is a hard test to pass I stumble at the fascist hurdle. [edit] also I don't like spies and cops but nobody is perfect
[edit2] I like individual spies and cops who are family member and friends but I dislike spies and cops and a group also MRMers, MLMers and Objectivists.
a little harsh I prefer the term poetic. Laurelai is kinda a street fighter on this sort of thing. and has a pugilistic stance.
It is a complex eusociality and teach/taught are part of the same thing.(in my mind) on empathy I think the word requires a split cognitive empathy (the ability to figure out what the other guy is thinking/feeling) and emotional empathy (giving a shit about what the other guy things and feels). if one lacks cognitive empathy he is a aspie. lacking emotional empathy is sociopathy. The chimps I met have a bit of the first one and none of the second.
I think Mr. Feiffer has the answer. bent. Corners torn. Never sealed correctly. Like they didn't give a damn whether I knew they were reading my mail or not. I was more of a militant in those days, so I decided to fight fire with fire. I began writing letters to the guy who was reading my mail. I addressed them to myself, of course, but inside they went something like: "Dear Sir: I am not that different from you. All men are brothers. Tomorrow instead of reading my maul in that dark, dusty hall why not bring it upstairs where we can check it out together! So I wrote a second letter. "Dear Sir: There are no heroes, no villains, no good guys, no bad guys. The world is more complicated than that. Come on up where we can open a couple of beers and talk it all out." (checks Patsy. No reaction.) Again, no answer. So then I wrote: "Dear Sir: I've been thinking so much of my own problems, too little of yours. Yours cannot be a happy task-reading another man's mail. It's dull, unimaginative. A job-and let's not mince words- for a hack. Yet I wonder-can this be the way you see yourself as a hack? do you see yurself as the office slob? Have you ever wondered why they stuck you with this particular job, instead of others who have less seniority? Or, was it, do you think, that your superviser looked around the office to see who he would stick for the job, saw you and said, 'No one will miss him for a month!'"And still no answer. But that letter-(checks Patsy.) that letter never got delivered to me. So then I wrote: "Dear Friend: Just a note to advise: you may retain my letters as long as you deem fit. Reread them. Study them. Think them out. Who back at the office is out to get you. Who, at this very moment, is sitting at your desk reading your mail? I do not say this to be cruel, but because I am the only one left you can trust-" No answer. But- the next day a man. saying he was from the telephone company showed up-no complaint had been made- to check the phone. Shaky hands. Bloodshot eyes. A small quaver in his voice. And as he dismembered my phone he said, :"Look. What nobody understands is that everybody has his job to do. I got my job. In this case it's repairing telephones. I like it or don't like it but it's my job. If I had another job- for example, with the F.B.I.--or someplace, putting in a wiretap for example or reading a guy's mail- like it or don't like it it would be my job! Has anyone got the right to destroy a man for doing his job?" I wrote one more letter-expressing my deep satisfaction that he and I had at last made contact, and informing him that the next time he came, perhaps to read the meter, I had valuable information, photostats, recordings, names and dates about the conspiracy against him. This letter showed up a week showed up a week after I mailed it, in a crumpled grease-stained, and scotch-taped envelope. The letter itself was torn in half and clumsily glued together again, In the margin, on the bottom, in large, shaky letters was written the word "Please!" It was after this that I began to wonder: if they are so unformidable then why fight back. (Patsy moves.)Every day the mail would come later and later. And it would be

How can it be stolen if the owner still has it?
What file-sharing folks "steal" are legal fictions not tangible objects.
Media corps steal from us all privatizing bits of the culture and selling them back to us. Perhaps in the old days of reasonable copyright arguments could be made but really what is my moral obligation to respect the rights of say the Avengers film's makers? The film is based on characters Marvel stole from Kirby (characters that should be public domain by now). So when a person downloads that film is he stealing from Joss Weldon, Stan Lee or Jack Kirby?
