"for someone who makes their living" For someone who makes HIS living writing, a brief review of pronoun and pronoun-antecedent agreement is in order. Political correctness for gender's sake is no excuse - rewrite it, but don't foist this abomination on your unsuspecting readers.

Professor Adams: Thank you for fighting the good fight. Keep it up.

Amusing story before breakfast. Went much faster than Hunt for Red October.

I hadn't heard that affirmative action was encouraging violent conflict in Sri Lanka...

*yawn*

"Diversity is a good thing to recognize, and generally to encourage." What an absurdly fatuous thought. Here's a quiz to prove it: Which of the two groups described below is more diverse? What makes the diverse group worthy of recognition and encouragement? How would you "recognize" and "encourage" the diverse group? Why does the other group not similarly deserve recognition and encouragement? Group 1. An Inuit, a transvestite, a dwarf, a street musician, and a state senator from Yuma; or Group 2. Quintuplets.

I guess I begrudgingly have to give eminem more credit...

That's gay.

For the polite, the timid, the superficial, the apathetic, the guilt-ridden, the misguidedly compassionate, the liberal and the fools who insist on equality for matters that are not equal (in fact direct opposites), MEN HAVING SEX WITH MEN THEY DON’T KNOW, AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE, is what you condone when you grant male homosexuals the symbol and imprimatur that is the legal right to marry. To equate male homosexual "activity" with holy matrimony between a man and a woman, and to advocate its acceptance by society as a matter of law, is sophistry of the first magnitude.

Study the anthropology and you'll find a couple of things happen historically in any society where male homosexuality is "legitimized." A. Adolescent boys eventually become the erotic target of older male homosexuals. (See Ancient Greece, for example.) B. Traditional marriage, and women as a group, become ever more marginalized. None of us should want either of these inevitable consequences of legalizing " gay marriage."

Male homosexuals understand that they are about promiscuity and not fidelity. Their goal can be simply stated: men having sex with men they don’t know, as often as possible. If they are honest then, marriage is inimical to their goal, and they should not marry. Lo and behold, only about 2% of male homosexuals who live where they may legally marry, actually marry. Look it up. What group in history has ever DEMANDED rights, gotten them, and not taken advantage of them? This statistic alone should make it obvious to all that this is not a civil rights issue. The gay activists are after something else entirely, and will settle for for nothing less - the legitimatization of their promiscuous lifestyle.
