Those held in internment camps did not lose their dignity because the government confined them. And those denied governmental benefits certainly do not lose their dignity because the government denies them those benefits. The government cannot bestow dignity, and it cannot take it away," he said.<br /><br />He said the US Constitution "was predicated on a simple truth: One's liberty, not to mention one's dignity, was something to be shielded from—not provided by—the State."</i><br /><br />Well, yeah, and that shoots down what you just spewed, doesn't it? One's dignity is something to be shielded from the Government WHEN THEY LET YOU BE ENSLAVED OR LOCKED UP FOR NO FUCKING REASON! Which sort of, you know, takes it away. And, has anyone, anywhere, at any time, tried to say the G doles out dignity?

Shortly after, a Chinese company made a bid for it, and shortly after that, it was swallowed up by Chevron, and is now a wholly owned subsidiary. <br /><br />So, too big to fail is pretty much baked into the corporate cake.montag2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-59685260968021626292015-06-29T12:34:36.889-04:002015-06-29T12:34:36.889-04:00If this is the new 9/11, then we should all go sh...If this is the new 9/11, then we should all go shopping, right?J Neo Marvinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-25865522074438683092015-06-29T12:25:42.882-04:002015-06-29T12:25:42.882-04:00Wow, that's stupid.

Can three people adopt a child? Does a first wife have parental rights over a second wife's children? If a wife has a child by IVF, which of her husbands is the father? Which husband gets the wife's SS death benefits? A lot of laws would need to be rewritten, and questions and scenarios answered. For SSM, no such problem solving and rewriting is needed. Husband and wife = husband and husband = wife and wife, and that's it. Most states already have a law that says that references to "he" include women, with no special rewriting of laws needed to redefine terms like "head of household" or "executor."RobNYNY1957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191252.post-43411782151835503632015-06-28T23:19:10.262-04:002015-06-28T23:19:10.262-04:00Topping the reaction?
