Hi, I'm Televisionarie (the originator of the quote), and I wish you'd left my original commentary on there, because in this context, it seems like I'm agreeing that Rand is worthy of study when that wasn't my intention at all. I think Rand was a self-centered moron who has unfortunately inspired generations of people with no thought for the good of society, but only for the good of their own wants.

Hah, I'm sorry. I just... get a little proprietary about Philadelphia.

You're so totally right. You've totally made me see why it's so great to be a vegan. It's so obvious to me now that the only way not to be an asshole ON THE INTERNET is to eat tofu.

You've really made your case incredibly well. It's like, all those guys screaming BABY KILLER made me so pro-life it's not even funny.

Now, off to have my abortion and eat it too.

Why are you here? I could ban you, but you're making enough of an ass out of yourself that I'm content to let you keep doing it.

How am I butting in when I run this site? Please go eat some vegan fro-yo, congratulate yourself for being morally superior, and get the fuck off my blog.

By the way, I would like to share that I just ate the following for dinner:
Duck, Lamb, Scallops, Kobe beef, Mussels, Lobster.

Thank god for tapas.

Hmm, I did used to have much shorter hair, and I did go the (somewhat)
blonde route for a while, after I got over my redhead phase...

But no, I just woke up a bit nuts today, that's all. Had very strange dreams
last night that I can't quite remember, and when I woke up, it was still
dark because the weather is awful. Oh well. I still have my Bon Iver.

I shamefully dated a hard-core republican. Let's say... they're definitely not uptight about fucking, they just like to keep it quiet.

I've actually ignored the whole Bonerparty thing. Seemed like kind of a waste of time. Going after some possible anti-feminists who misuse irony on the internet wasn't really my cup of tea. That being said, because The Patriarchy is kind of the antithesis of that, it makes me laugh on a regular basis. Keep it up.

I'm not totally pretending to understand this "self" concept you keep bringing up (and I always thought of myself as fairly intelligent), so I wouldn't mind an explanation of your thoughts on that.

My issue isn't with Maggie's beliefs. There are plenty of people out there who agree with her for whatever reason. If one just goes out there and says, "Your Bible is wrong and you are wrong and you are a bigot," it just doesn't go anywhere. My issue is with the way she's making her argument. Perhaps you see more merit in it than I do. However, I've read a lot of what she has to say (even before those ridiculous ads came out), and it all seems to boil down to, "If I say I don't like gay marriage and the government says it's OK, people are going to call me a bigot and I don't want to let them do that."

Her argument seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the self and more with the fact that she doesn't want to be villified 50 years down the line in the same manner that we villify those who fought against interracial marriage (a subject to which she often compares her own battle).

If you pick apart her argument, she simply wants to legislate anything, anywhere, that religious folks might find offensive. The problem is that she only looks at it from a Catholic perspective. Of course, her compatriots also jumped on the Muslim cabbies who had issues with driving around people with alcohol. Where do you draw the line? Some of them wanted legislation preventing these cabbies from following their conscience. Abortion, gay marriage... because these are "Christian" issues, get the opposite treatment and personal, religious reaction is all that matters.

I guess that's why I don't find the Kashrut argument as frivolous as you do. It's all the same when you get right down to it.
