Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Campus Recruiting

The Solomon case reaches the Supreme Court. And the good punditry, here. 

Look, we all know this isn't really about gays - it's about anti-military and anti-America. Gays are just being used as a pawn in this game, which was going on way before gays were "gays." Indeed, gays are foolish to let themselves be exploited in this way by the anti-American crazies, who have always latched onto the most convenient or fashionable excuse for their America-bashing efforts.

I want to see what would happen if gay-slaughtering Al Quaida recruiters handed out fliers in Harvard Yard. Nothing. Free speech, right? And multi-culturally sensitive. When will we see poorly-paid but devoted military recruiters given the same respect as the pin-striped fancy guys from Morgan Stanley, GE, and Shearman & Sterling - all of whom depend on our guys and gals in uniform for their freedom and prosperity?
