    Larry Sinclair was proven to have been paid by Ron Paul to make those claims. They aren't true.

  • What is 'World Growth' and Why Does It Hate Forests So Much?

    I interned at a land conservation agency, and learned more than I ever cared to know about urban sprawl. I thought builders had to replace the trees they felled during construction?

    Private contracts, ftw. :D


    It's not going to happen, and it's a bit idiotic to continually demand it when they're about to leave office anyway.

    Cheney's charges have been dropped, btw, since there was no real case against him in the first place.

  • New York Democrats Backtrack on Gay Marriage?

    Richard, I'm referring to the struggle that black Americans endured in the post-Reconstruction Era, which includes but is not limited to the CRA and VRA. Think in terms of Plessy v. Ferguson, lynchings, Brown v. Board of education, Jim Crow laws, KKK intimidation, etc. We were treated as less than human. There's a whole history you seem to be unaware of. This is a civil rights issue...tax-paying, law-abiding citizens are being denied the basic right to marry whomever those choose based on what other people think is right. I compared this to the AA community's struggle against discrimination because it's exactly the same thing, only not as violent and all-encompassing as it was in those days.

    I don't get the civil union argument, and quite honestly, it's insulting that people seem to view that as a happy medium. Why are American's so threatened by same-sex couples? I'm not gay, but I don't have a problem with it. They should be afforded the same rights and privileges as anyone else.

    I don't think they're allow Diaz's position decide the fate of this. To be perfectly honest, I find it ridiculous that this is even an issue three weeks after the election. When do they go back into session? February? I think it's best to let them get back to work, get the more important issues (sorry, NY's economy trumps gay marriage) taken care of, and then address the social issues. I understand that this important to many, many people, and that they're anxious to have it resolved, but, you have to wait a little while longer. I support gay marriage fully, and I think New York does owe the LGBT community that right, but all things in due time. African-Americans had to fight for a very long time before they were recognized as more than three-fifths of a person (and suffered many losses in the process), so I don't see why or how this is different.
