Some folks seem to think I occasionally have interesting things to say. I don't always agree.

PZ Meyers on Marriage
Why I am an amoral, family-hating monster…and Newt Gingrich isn't : Pharyngula: "I think I understand, though — it doesn't matter what you do, all that matters is what you say. The Republicans support a version of marriage that rests on tradition, authority, and masculine dominance, and everything they do props up one leg of the tripod or the other. Public piety reinforces religious tradition; the insistence that there is one true form of marriage, between a man and a woman, which represents a legal and social commitment is part of the authoritarian impulse; and of course, if a man steps out of the matrimonial bounds, it's an expression of machismo and patriotism and entitlement."
