I've been looking around the site a bit--seems like an interesting place.
I did find a point I'd argue from the "Freedom of Association" post:
He simply seems to have taken the position that she may not do so while working in his office.It ain't "his" office.
Ah well. If I ever meet anyone I agree with completely I'll probably find some other reason to complain. Go on over and give the site a look-see.

Am I advising you to kiss ar$e to succeed? Yes.
I have a problem with someone that takes a quote from Heinlein and credits "Grandma Kerodin". I stopped there with the site. No better than J. Kerry (D) or Mark Kirk (R-IL) taking credit for military honors not deserved.

"...Liberal ideals..."
ReplyDeleteCould we stop incorrectly using that word...please? And I don't think adjectives get capitalized--even in German.
