How is it logically possible to support or tolerate abortion but not be at least tolerant of the open source boob project? Don't get me wrong, its a pretty lame idea by a crew of apparently pretty lame guys. But what consenting adults choose to do with other consenting adults is not a matter that should be decided by majority consensus, no matter how overwhelming. I know this whole controversy has already come and gone, but I never really got to thinking about it in depth until recently. Instead, I had just soaked up all the PC reasoning as to why it was so offensive and should be shamed into non-existence. Now it occurs to me that this is just another instance of the more collectivist elements of society attempting to exerting normative control over individuals. It happened before with the origins of obscenity laws in the US, when feminists formed a coalition with rabid right wing reactionaries. Now its happening again with geeks trying to cop a feel.

This is the same idiot as last time. Somehow The Flouncer actually seems to be getting dumber. Its almost surprising. Like how he uses an essay about the 70s Englehart Cap run to back his claim that Captain America in WW2 would have been a xenophobic racist, just like all WW2 veterans. Yeah the mind it boggles...

Stupid work boredom. Must resist urge to check on idiots. Go back to book...

ETA: I'm probably giving him too much credit by saying he's getting dumber. I mean this is the guy who said men couldn't be raped unless drugged. And not counting anal or something. Because if you cum it doesn't count. Or something like that was his reasoning...
