@13. Not really. My father was a Hetero man. I loved him, and I miss him every day.

If this prohibition were religiously enforced, nobody would survive adolescence.

@40 I guess demographers aren't counting native Americans. You know-- the people who were here before the whites.

Been to Wal-Mart lately? Watch much television? People of mixed-race ancestry are increasingly common. This is true even in the South, where I live, and where "misegenation" was a crime in the not very distant past. In fact, of my nine nieces and nephews, three are of mixed-race ancestry, and would not be categorized as "white" or "caucasian," even though one of their birth parents is. Welcome to the 21st century.

Still, it will be fun to watch the talking heads at FOX mourning the decline of "traditional America," and trying to do so without sounding racist.

At the end of this evening of purity, all the fathers throw their virgin daughters into the nearest volcano.

It's kind of a dopey, ham-handed compromise, but it's also a huge step in the right direction, and because the compromise is so dopey and ham-handed, it probably won't survive very long.

May 21 Clayton commented on SL Letter of the Day: Did You Think I Was Going To Tell You Not To Come Out? (PLUS: Help Free Kate!).

@36 & 39. In a situation like that, the parents say, "You can't date Katelyn because she's too old for you. " They dont (or shouldn't) have the older girl arrested.

LWIR --Don't wait. Just move out.

I had no interest in seeing Gatsby until I read this review.

May 12 Clayton commented on Slog Bible Study: Luke 19:23-27.

I once saw a Republican (I think it was Rand Paul, but don't make me swear it) being interviewed, and he argued that Christianity was all about accumulation of wealth. He said, "Most of the parables are in favor of getting rich," and he cited the parable of the talents.

I guess he overlooked the parable of the widow's mite, or Jesus saying that it is harder for a rich man to get into Heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the needle's eye, or Jesus saying "Sell all you have and follow me."
