Delaware Liberal

Tuesday Open Thread (4-02-13)

Looks like the crew of DL is swamped today.

In the spirit of the season and what would Jesus do scenario, a Georgia town has made gun ownership mandatory.  Don’t worry, the ordinance doesn’t carry penalties.  Just another example of lawmakers wasting taxpayer money.

Did you know there was a state of being safely unconscious when it comes to rape/assault?  Me neither, but here it is:

As long as I’m safely unconsious (sic) and therefore shielded from the costs of an assault, why shouldn’t the rest of the world (or more specifically my attackers) be allowed to reap the benefits? And if the thought of those benefits makes me shudder, why should my shuddering be accorded any more public policy weight than Bob’s or Granola’s? We’re still talking about strictly psychic harm, right?

Right?  Right?

And Tom Carper FINALLY endorses marriage equality.

As our society has changed and evolved, so too has the public’s opinion on gay marriage – and so has mine. I pray every day for God to grant me the wisdom to do what is right. Through my prayers and conversations with my family and countless friends and Delawareans, I’ve been reminded of the power of one of my core values: the Golden Rule. It calls on us to treat others as we want to be treated. That means, to me, that all Americans ultimately should be free to marry the people they love and intend to share their lives with, regardless of their sexual orientation, and that’s why today, after a great deal of soul searching, I’m endorsing marriage equality.

About time.  He lost a lot points by waiting, imo.

What’s on your mind?
