Dan Savage is my hero

This this little gem is priceless.

Dildos in Texas

"The state Attorney General in Texas, Mr. Greg Abbott, is appealing the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal’s pre-Valentine’s Day decision to toss out his state’s ban on sex toys, vibrators, and dildos. Allowing Texans to own dildos, the state believes, will lead to Texans fucking members of their immediate families—and then marrying all their relatives too. Only a ban on dildos, it seems, stands between Texas and total incestuous, bigamous anarchy."

Dildos and sex toys and sodomy, oh my!

When are we ever going to grow up?

When we face up to the fact that sinning is less scary than those persistently trying to save us from it.

Noone is tired of this shit, yet?

Why

Some days, after the hundredth time of being treated like shit by some punk, I don't know why I do this work.

Then I have an hour like this one, where a kid is serious about getting his life straight, and I remember why.

Why dictatorship by any stripe is still despotism

George is right. It is amazing how long people will go before admitting they are wrong. And how much misery they will cause along the way.

This is why freedom matters no matter what your government says

Freedom really isn't that complicated. We're just too cowardly to take it seriously. And we're so cowardly, that we look at someone like Fidel Castro and say, "Well at least we're not as cowardly as him."

What a pathetic standard for governance.

Liberty and liberal democracy deserve better.

We all do.
