Afterthought:

Many years ago, when I was a young ‘un just a couple of years into my first real job (as opposed to summer jobs), my then girl friend and I had occasion to visit an apartment occupied by two young men.

I remember that she was rather taken aback when she saw that there was only one bed in the apartment.

But, really, they were just being who they were, and they were harming nobody.

Who does it harm to just let let persons be who they are in the privacy of their own homes?

As an aside, I can attest that no marriage of mine has ever been harmed by anything that happened in a same sex bedroom.

Vaccine Nation 0

The stupid. It metastasizes.

Researchers found that 30 percent of the 2,200 dog owners surveyed believed that canine vaccines were medically unnecessary and more than 20 percent believed that they were ineffective. Nearly 40 percent believed dog vaccinations to be unsafe, with 37 percent expressing the belief that some vaccines could even cause “canine autism”, despite no scientific evidence for vaccines causing this in dogs or humans.
