Can a true Libertarian be a bigot?

*** begin quote ***

How can one reconcile Libertarian philosophy and still support unequal rights? 

Should Libertarians support gay marriage?

*** end quote ***

It seems real simple. 

Libertarians should be opposed to the Gooferment “mandating” anything.

Everyone should be free to make whatever agreements they choose. Without interference, from the gang pretending to be in charge.

Argh!

RANT; ANYONE, anyone at all, think the lives, blood, and bucks are worth it

Giving Afghanistan Back to the Taliban
Our last days in the ‘Graveyard’
by Kelley B. Vlahos, July 02, 2013

And now we’re back
Where we started
Here we go round again

Day after day 
I get up and I say 
I better do it again

– The Kinks

*** begin quote *** 

Could it be, that after 3,000 coalition troops killed and untold (because there are no official counts) civilian casualties that the U.S would just hand Afghanistan back to the Taliban?

The prospect is dire, and there are many competing opinions on that point, but the picture emerging from recent headlines is that 1) the Taliban has the upper hand entering into negotiations with the United States and 2) they know it. And don’t forget 3) the United States wants badly to put this war behind and may likely capitulate on old “red lines” to do it.

“I don’t trust the American angle in all this – I am concerned that they will be searching for a quick and easy political settlement that superficially looks and sounds like a solution to Afghanistan and something that they can sell as ‘victory’ back in the US – and all before the end of 2014,” wrote British Afghan researcher Tim Foxley, on his blog, AfghanHindsight.

Sorry, but this Independence Day, the Sheeple and Clovers should be ashamed to have this done in their name.

INTERESTING: Sleep = Weight?

The Less You Sleep, the More Weight You Gain

*** begin quote ***

If you need more convincing to finally fix your sleep deprivation problem, here it is: A new sleep study has found people who lose a lot of sleep eat more fatty foods and gain more weight.

The study, from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, confirms several other similar studies conducted over the past few years. This one is pretty significant, because it used the largest, most diverse sample to date—225 healthy adults ages 22 to 50—and it was done in a controlled sleep lab.

*** end quote ***

So that’s my problem?

Testicles Have Taste Receptors, And They May Be Pretty Important To Fertility
By Glen Tickle 

*** begin quote ***

Our tongues have taste receptors, obviously, but it turns out that’s not the only place we have them. Taste receptors are found all over the body — even in the testicles. Scientists don’t understand what the taste receptors outside of our tongue do, but they’ve recently discovered that the taste receptors in the testicles of male mice are important to fertility.

*** end quote ***

I can’t even keep a straight face with this post.

Hey, we’re all adults. 

God, the Universe, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster must have a huge sense of humor.

Blood drive in New / North Brunswick 1130 to 3

Mass this morning thinking of her.

Maybe I’ll “remote work” or maybe just take a “mental health” day.

Sadly.

Wasn’t supposed to end.
