    "...just how sorry this pointless war really was, and is."

    This is flawed thinking. All war is equally pointless. There is always another way. War always ends in injustice at every level. Any attempt to show otherwise is pure revisionism.

    I'm not old either, but the typos drive me fucking nuts. Nuts!

    - Calendar. Not calender.
    - Strunk and White wrote "The Elements of Style," not "Element of Styles."
    - Hillary Clinton is not a dude. Her first name has two Ls, not one.

    I never got on board with Facebook or any of the other ones but I can say it's officially over when my mother, who can barely use the computer, is on there now with a bunch of friends. I just found this out this morning when I got one of those automatic e-mail friend requests from her account. Yawn. If I need you to know something I've got e-mail, text and phone, otherwise, I'll keep my privacy thanks. I do like Twitter, although I just use it to follow people/groups.

    I'm not old, but I want that cane. Who'd fuck with you when you were carrying that thing?

    Also, the CBC would probably buy the blog about hockey.

    Guess Zuck wants to outsource "girls of FB exposed" to the entire world...

    But seriously, why is he so obssesed with trying to be twitter? specially considering FB is closer to what a real business should be.

    Give these people their own show. Except that the storylines should revolve around their various grifting scams. Any monies earned from the show should go to pay back all the people they've bilked over the years.

    They're obviously pathological liars and psychopaths, and need to be made an example of.

    Thank you, John. I gotta say you really hit your stride with this piece. I seriously hope we'll get to read more work like this from Gawker. You guys are capable of SO much that print, TV and even NPR just refuse to do and cannot do.

    In reply to New York State Senate Votes Down Gay Marriage
    I don't know what's worse – having gay marriage voted down by a large number of bigoted assholes, as it was here in CA, or by a small number of bigoted assholes, as happened today. It's hard to believe there still has to be an argument about whether or not people deserve equal protection under the law.

    An inspirational and truly amazing scoop, John. Somebody get this man a lawyer pro-bono, hopefully this article gives him enough press to get a good lawyer but not too much that it would ruin his case. May your future be blessed and your sacrifices be compensated, Firas, for you have seen things no man should see and been through things no man should go through.

    I cannot begin to imagine what it is like to live every day with violence and death, and to nevertheless do what you believe is the right thing, in spite of the very real risks to yourself and loved ones. And then to not only have the worst come true, but serendipitously survive, and end up in a foreign land, friendless, and barely able to speak the language? Unspeakable.

    And this is just one story. Of likely millions now.

    Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776:
    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

    Frederick Douglass, Rochester, New York, July 5, 1852:
    Fellow citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here today? What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us?…
    I say it with a sad sense of the disparity between us. I am not included within the pale of this glorious anniversary! … The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me… This Fourth of July is yours, not mine…

    @bodegacat: Not to get all soap-boxy, but there have been too many times throughout history when actions that should be axiomatically permitted and rights that should intuitively exist are denied. If interracial marriage is still being challenged in some parts of this country (thank you The South), how fucked is the gay marriage cause.

    When our government restricts the economic liberties of businesses it is the act of fascists, but when it prevents someone from doing what is essentially for humans the next step up from eating and breathing, then it is somehow preserving the American way of life? Up is down and down is up, and once again the world makes a little less sense.

    @Six and a Quarter: I'm not sure I catch your drift, or that you caught mine. I thought it was pretty obvious from those quotes that I find this vote abhorrent and archaic, denying basic human rights, but everything I thought to write seemed trite in comparison. Hence turning to someone like Frederick Douglass.

    @bodegacat: Sorry for the clumsy ineptitude in explaining myself. Comes from being really irate, really hungry and really tired at the same time. I was agreeing with you and adding my own endorsement- hence the soap box language. Hoped that was clear in my post, but apparently not.

    @Six and a Quarter: hey, my clumsy ineptitude can beat yours any day of the week. I was tired and irate too, which no doubt contributed to my non-capisce-iness. Our agreement leads me to the one encouraging thing in all this, besides Diane Savino: to see the increasing outrage over these votes as their archaic & cruel nature becomes glaringly obvious to more people.

    I'm telling you, if there was a "Day Without a Gay" movement, bitches across the country would be rethinking gay marriage.

    So many industries would grind to a halt.
