If you live in California, you would know we already have enough taxes. The problem is when the state legislature is so lopsided in favor of the Tax and Spend Liberals who haven't found a tax they don't like, something needed to be done. The notion that the financial crisis was caused by not enough taxes is just one proof I offer that the state is in the hands of people who are just nuts.
I actually support legalization. And I also support employers testing prospective employees. If you want to work for XYZ Corporation, then XYZ Corporation has a right to make sure you aren't stoned when you come to work. This is one of the ways they can check to see if you are stoned. Bummer for you that THC doesn't get filtered out quickly.
The question I have, is do you want the job more than you want to smoke pot, or not. Make your choice. It seems like you have made your choice. Just remember, you turned down the job so you can smoke pot, so you can't complain about not having a job.
This guy is not selling gun parts. He is selling machining equipment. A license is not needed. Selective re-organization of facts trying to support your case only shows that you care about "rights" you care about, and not "rights" for everyone. Good job.
Selling smithing tools vs selling wedding cakes. Can i discriminate on selling something that is legal or not based on how I feel or not? It is hypocritical to support one class and not another, simply because you agree with that class and not the other.
Let me know when I can marry my daughter or sibling for "government benefits". Equal protection applies to all or it doesn't apply to anyone. This here is the problem with using equal protection clause.
I will prove to you marriage is not a right. Can you marry your sibling? Equal protection clause doesn't work on gay marriage, plain and simple, because it already doesn't apply to all. Care to try again?
Marriage is not a right. I cannot marry anyone that I choose. I cannot marry my daughter, is our civil rights being violated? Before you go down the road of "eww gross" or "Incest" or whatever, please consider this... Equal protection means equal protection, and it applies to all or it doesn't. If you insist that gay people can marry, under equal protection, then you must also support all other forms of marriage you disagree with, including Polygamy and Incestuous.
The moment you proposed gay marriage, under equal protection, you opened up all forms of marriage you find "icky" or "distasteful" or whatever. The problem here is that the proponents of gay marriage have no idea what they have actually done, because they are myopic.
Just because the Supreme Court rules a particular way, doesn't mean it is right. Supreme Court changes it mind all the time.
I always laugh when Liberals use the Supreme Court as final authority when it is convenient (gay marriage) and call for all sorts of things when it is not (Campaign Contributions).
What were you thinking about my post? Where is pot/Kettle?
My Libertarian views are that people should be able to deny service as they see fit. Works equally for Cakes and guns. And for the same reason. It is entirely consistent.
My personal view on Marriage, is that it is none of the government's business, and there should be no laws either supporting or denying status based on marriage. Period.
So, you're supporting the idea that certain rights are for certain people are more important than other rights for everyone. Gotcha. So much for "equal protection" being equal.
Animal House was a cautionary tale, not an instruction book.
Can you point to any place in the Constitution where people have to sell you things because of a right you have? If you can, wouldn't it apply equally to wedding cakes for gay people and services sold to gun makers?
If not, could you please explain the difference between right to marry and right to keep and bear arms in rendering services to the public?
Even if I was being "overly simplistic" (I'm not, but lets go with the uninformed version), so what? The bill coming from the hospital claims it. Let us assume that the hospital claims it, then that becomes a blatant lie in my books. A deliberate untruth. Which, when conducting business is "fraud". Making fraudulent claims is huge no-no in my books. But Hospitals and doctors get away with it for what reason?
There are clocks everywhere. Practically every electronic device has one. It cost about $.02 to put one in anything, so it goes into everything. Ubiquity is the one reason I stopped wearing a watch; there is no practical need to carry one. The additional fact that unless your clock is Atomic Clock Synced, it isn't accurate enough is another issue worth considering.
Which is why i suggested that the best watch to carry, is a statement piece. A 150 year old time piece is just classy.
The fact that Microsoft already has a "Me Too" product in a market that doesn't have much traction, proves that market is doomed.
FYI, I shed my wrist clock years ago, and couldn't be happier. If I went back to wearing a watch, I'd go old school Waltham pocket watch. Now there is Class.

I've found "Nuanced opinions" to be utter bullshit, and simply coded words for "not liberal enough".
It looks to me like reform is the agenda, just not the reform Liberals like Lessig wanted. People are sick of Democrats at this point.
So, in Utah, a rich white male lost to a black female, guess which one liberals championed? So much for racist sexist Mormons , huh?
Yeah, gerrymandering is only allowed when Democrats do it!

You didn't answer the questions as asked. Equal protection applies to everyone or it is meaningless.
The same "rights" apply to both classes. If you only care about one class, you're just hypocrite.

Some people have more rights than others. Animal Farm .

its impossible for a document, any document to serve the role as an iron clad guaruntee of rights, or to protect the people.
That is the role of a well armed citizenry. Documents describe the goal, it is up to the people guaranty the goals.

BUT BUT BUT I thought Companies don't have the right to deny people's rights simply because they don't agree with them.
Substitute Gay Marriage for Guns in this case and see if your position changes.

This!
Why is there such a price difference. I don't care what insurance saved me, I want the same price for everyone. Is that so hard ?
You probably don't even realize what you did, but you admitted there is a double standard and that you don't care. Nicely done.
