| And, now... for one of the most brilliant examples of hubris in recent history: "I'm proud to announce that in a sign of party unity all 17 Republican presidential candidates have pledged to support our eventual nominee ," said RNC Chairman Priebus. "We have the largest, most diverse... |

| I view abortion as a positive good for those who are able to choose it. I think the pro-life argument is too idealistic and only creates more human suffering. Pro-lifers also strike me as hypocritical in their tendency to want to force women to complete their pregnancy, while typically holding posit... |

| If I say something and someone else uses what I said and decides to kill someone, it was that person who made that decision for themselves. I think that adults should be responsible for their own decisions. I just don't understand blaming society or groups because of an individual doing something s... |

| Was raised a devout Southern Baptist, later deconverted to atheism towards the end of high school. Churches have always made me uncomfortable, even before my deconversion. All those smiling people, feigning kindness and familiarity, and the guilt of the sermon that made me feel perpetually inadequat... |

Eleanor is my favorite, because she was a bad-a** fighter for civil rights. (I'm sure she has some sh** in her history, but I haven't been interested enough to investigate.)
Franklin is my least, because he doesn't have quite the endearing charisma of Teddy, and also internment camps. |

| Limiting speech that can be offensive to minorities is racist, in that it would not provide the same limits against the same offensive language that minorities use themselves. Take the "Evil N-Word", for example. As a white man, I can not even use it in an academic illustration (such as t... |
