    This becomes rather more problematic when almost everyone carries around a video camera and there exist means to trivially distribute said footage to the world.

    Kinda sad though isn't it though? That a politician has to pander to one group to get one vote in, then pander to another to get another vote in.

    Just saw this..

    Fundraiser for Washington florist who rejects gay marriage raises $90,000
    This is the florist that got fined $1000
    In addition to the 875k they raised for the Pizza place in Indiana, it seems like bigotry might be the way for businesses to go.

    Heh, no its not.

    What you saw there was the result of media efforts to focus all the hysteria on the closest thing they can find to what they have people convinced is surrounding people at all times.

    Paints a pretty clear picture to me
    Don't bother trying to find support for any of their crackpot beliefs in the bible, conservatives just use that as a cover for their racism, misogyny and homophobia. This law is Indiana is a prime example.
    There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov

    It becomes scarce when you don't welcome more opportunity. In the end, the market economy will decide the fate of these control freaks who demoralize their neighbors.
