If one attempts suicide one is likely to be involuntarily taken in for psychological evaluation and potentially locked up for years. I don't think that jibes with being a Constitutional right. Thus, Goldy, you should shut the fuck up because you're a bombastic dolt.

In this case it is abundantly clear that the discrimination was due to service provider's objection to the legal actions of a member of a protected class. Not sure what the case law is but it seems to me like a winnable discrimination suit.
I've always been bothered by the hypothetical, though. If I'm an asshole, have brown eyes, smell bad, [fill in the blank] you are free to discriminate against me. If I'm any or all of those AND a member of a protected class you are not free to discriminate against me. What is the burden of proof? I also like to believe, along with John Kerry, that in America we have the right to be stupid.

@12 Thank you for politely pointing out my egregious error. Be sure to have a nice day while you go fuck yourself. I'm proud of you for spending the time to read the entire Goldy post - you'll never get those minutes back.

If DST actually saved anything, like power f'rinstance, then I'd be fer it. As it is, it actually costs us money. Ridiculous. Kill DST and kill it now. And, while we're at it, kill the penny and the paper one dollar bill and...

"the reality of the Center School is that students of color feel uncomfortable in our school on a daily basis. Who is filing a complaint for them?"
Hmm. Is the teacher, Greenberg, saying that non-whites are not allowed to file complaints or...? This is the sort of rhetoric that makes me skeptical about the curriculum and the teacher. It isn't that such classes aren't valuable or necessary but the rhetoric makes it all seem more a more religious than fact-based undertaking - not that THAT's not true of a lot of edumacation but...

Really? Are people gonna be mo edumacated by a 6:24 video that can be boiled down to two plots? Also, gotta take the prof to task: Never ever ever trust a graph whose axes are not clearly labeled. Even if it's bleeding obvious and you have a narrative to go with it, not labeling is for cheats and amateurs.

No.
Think of all your favorite legislation that's been passed and enacted in WA state during your tenure here. Take, for example, same-sex marriage. Now think what happens to same-sex marriage when a legislator says same-sex marriage AND income tax. Political cowardice?

Moved to Seattle, as an adult, in '89. Saw the show opening weekend. With that background...
This is a poorly written review but I don't disagree with the conclusion. I was amused but also cringing. Repeatedly. The music was a nice selection from the times and not all bad. The script and the arc on the other hand... Geesh, it was like something from a playwriting workshop for college students. I imagine workshop dialogs going something like: "Yeah, and one of the characters should have a drug problem. And, it'd be good if there was a death or something tragic like but not one of the main characters cause that'd be too sad..." And, yeah, all the mens! Why?

As an aside, it seems many of the commenters are not aware that organic does not mean pesticide free. Organic produce is produced with... organic pesticides. Shit can still kill you.
