I wouldn't think that a simple spelling correction would be grounds for a :P and pwnage. Not only would it be onerous on the typist, it would make commentators vulnerable as well. No one wants to see that.

I have to admire Dick Clark. That guy has been all about personal appearance for 25 years, so it must have taken a tremendous amount of courage to appear after enduring a stroke and losing partial muscle control.

We lit off fireworks. They offered poor competition to those of our neighbors. I had hoped to scare some snow off the trees, but the reports didn't work. Good time anyhow. The ABC schtick is getting a bit old now. Especially since everything ties in with cross promotions. Bleagh.

Yikes! 50 minutes to go, I better take off my pants and hope for a trophy.

Most scientists that I know are more eager to detail what they don't know, rather than what they do know. The resulting eagerness to explore, explain, and quantify the unknown is their hallmark.

Okay, so some people are attacking your faith. Most people aren't. If anything, they are suspicious that your personal ethos denies equality to homosexuals. Is this correct, or incorrect? Does the Jehovah Witness faith allow for homosexuality? Would a JW minister solemnize a union between two men or two women of your faith?

This notion of ultimate executive power has certainly backfired. It used to be that people automatically respected authority, and with good reason. Those in charge commanded respect through their demeanor and actions. But Bush screwed that up. I have to say that my default reaction is now one of suspicion, rather than respect. I suspect police, armed forces, public officials. They have suffered due to the abuses that start at the top of the pyramid. Now, I wouldn't so hastily condemn by association, except that Bush's faults have been seen as assets by other "authority" figures and emulated to some degree.

I watched on the news tonight about some woman that got tasered by a cop. Apparently the woman's was called by her estranged husband for a good argue. While she was yelling into the phone, she wandered away from the checkout counter, leaving her card behind. The clerk assumed the woman was scared because her card was stolen, so alerted a uniformed cop on the situation. The cop attempted to question her, but the woman tried to move away so she could continue exchanging yells, and was then dropped like a sack of potatoes. When interviewed, the chief of police was very angry, and said that people need to respect police and always do what they are told. It turned out that the credit card was fine, it just had to be run through again. The woman was arrested and charged with... resisting arrest.

Buncha winnahs out there.

Anyway Alec. Yeah.

If I'm not getting your point, it's because I'm not getting answer to key questions. Answer this please:

Originally written by Stillness:

Why did the government create benefits for married couples? Why not just say, "Hey, if your wife doesn't want to work, that's your problem"? Just saying it's a cultural norm leaves much to be desired in the way of an answer.

I'm not a political historian. I can't step into the collective mind of dead law-makers to inquire as to the reasoning behind a decision. If I had to guess, it would be that many blue collar workers in the industrialized northern states were concerned that they didn't have enough money to properly raise a family. No form of childcare existed then, beyond that available through the use of family members, so it was only childless couples that could gain two incomes. And then only until the first pregnancy was coming to term. Upon watching their income cut in half, and having a relatively high proportion taken as taxes, they complained to their representatives. Politicians likely haven't changed, and if that is any guide, they would have jumped at the chance to "cut taxes to save the working class family," much like is done today (if you substitute "rich" for "working class.")
For example, if Joe and Mary earned 35k and 20k, and paid taxes of 8750 and 5000, They still had 41,250. Now Mary gets pregnant, and suddenly the income is cut to 35000, with 8,750 in taxes removed, leaving 26,250. This is a 15,000 reduction, and that 26,250 has to feed, shelter, and cloth at least 2 people. The taxation change let Joe and Mary keep more of that 35,000, which in turn put more food on the table, kept money circulating in the economy, and reduced stress on the family. Not worrying about every penny allowed Joe and Mary to better themselves education, gave them free time to maintain relationships in the community, and created happier people.

So, now it's your turn to again ignore an answer to your question. If you have a problem with this answer, it is because you are providing a question that doesn't match what you are pondering in your head. Try to rephrase it so that you are more clearly understood, remembering that none of us can speak for people that are dead.

You haven't given any reason — ever — for the government to favor same-sex couples that holds up to rigorous scrutiny.
They think it’s good for society. That’s it. Like it or not. As I said before, the development zone could be a colossal failure in ten years. But the city has the right to try if they have calculated it will produce. If someone thinks the zone should be expanded, then the onus is on them to make a case for it. My argument is not that the government should favor hetero pairing, but that the position for other unions being favored in the same way is flawed as it is often presented. All the same I did give a list of benefits to society. I think they do show that marriage in its current form is worthwhile. The burden of proof is on you, not me.

What happened to the single income household? Or have you established a new generation of sweatshops to supplant the 21st century education system?
You really need to lose this line of argument. The government is not saying what you think it is saying. We have told you that, in many different ways, many different times. I wish there was some sort of voice relay that could be used, but just know that right now I'm typing slowly and loudly so that you can understand me.
