Comments for The Bourgeois Buffoon http://www.rahulbasu.com/blog Musings, Poetry, and Madness Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:01:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 Comment on The End of Homophobia by Jessica http://www.rahulbasu.com/blog/2008/10/29/the-end-of-homophobia/#comment-68 Jessica Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:12:50 +0000 http://www.rahulbasu.com/blog/?p=68#comment-68 To bulgarian solicitors: "Why, in 50 years, being opposed to same-sex marriage will carry the same stigma as being racist today." I believe it already carries the same stigma - then again, perhaps I'm just ahead of my time? It's sad that we can't just learn from history and realize that any discrimination is just plain wrong. If voting on the "issue" of same sex marriage is allowed, why can't we vote on the "issue" of heterosexual marriages? Can you imagine if you replaced "same sex marriage" with "heterosexual marriage" in any of the bills that are passed? Or to try to make it illegal for heterosexual couples to adopt? It's just plain logic and reason. I'm a straight female and I'm mad as hell that my fellow citizens are being discriminated against. We really must stand tall and DEMAND equal rights for all. To bulgarian solicitors: “Why, in 50 years, being opposed to same-sex marriage will carry the same stigma as being racist today.”

We read a lot about this (water/policy) in Econ (and Malthusian economics, yay), so none of what you've written is really new...People view water as a sacred entitlement and not like a scarce resource. I'd like to see more expansion on how a "global water-sharing plan" might be developed. :P Nice post.
