The slippery slope to polygamy...
The Fundamentalist Christian Right(tm) is fond of saying that if marriage was allowed for gays than its just a matter of time that polygamists would demand it too. There are many reasons why this is complete idiocy but this article in the New York times points out an important issue with why polygamy doesn't work. Economics.
Over the last six years, hundreds of teenage boys have been expelled or felt compelled to leave the polygamous settlement that straddles Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah.Emphasis mine.
...
“In part it’s an issue of control,” Mr. Murphy said of the harsh rules. But underlying the expulsions, he added, is a mathematical reality. “If you’re going to have plural marriage, you need fewer men,” he said.
Apple the new Microsoft?
Mike Elgan of Computerworld has declared Apple the new Microsoft. Lets read why he thinks that.
Ten years ago, Microsoft was the company everyone loved to hate.The same was true twenty years ago and the same was true 20 minutes ago.
The core complaint about Microsoft in the 1990s was that its Windows market share gave it monopoly power, which it abused in multiple ways. Attorneys General and others zeroed in on the “bundling” of the Internet Explorer Web browser, which they claimed was forced on users because Microsoft offered it as part of Windows.And you know how it was fixed? Not by government intervention but a changing market and new products which Microsoft has not been able to keep up with.

most sobering comment of the day...
From msnbc:
Two people who sprinkled flour in a parking lot to mark a trail for their offbeat running club inadvertently caused a bioterrorism scare and now face a felony charge.
And the soboring response comes from Balloon Juice:
It is absurd. You are safe. I am safe. This nation is safe. Quit being such a damned pussy. All of you.
priceless....
