Rotary Link Salad
May. 7th, 2013 09:21 amRotary day, so have some link salad.
A) I've spoken before of Elizabeth Smart. Well, with this morning's news of three girls having been kidnapped and held for years, she's talking about why she didn't run. The short version - abstinence-only sex ed. Her quote: ""I thought, 'Oh, my gosh, I'm that chewed up piece of gum, nobody re-chews a piece of gum, you throw it away.' And that's how easy it is to feel like you know longer have worth, you know longer have value."
B) The NRA debunks a myth its membership is fond of: No, Virginia, the Federal government is not trying to drive up the price of ammunition.
C) A very interesting article about the long and sad story of exploiting textile workers and killing them in poorly-built factories. On a related note, our new Pope called the Bangladeshi working conditions "slavery." Good on him.
D) On the gay marriage front, how do you "civilly disobey" a law that doesn't affect you?
