But we taxpayers will have to shell out the bill for the determined yahooism of bureaucrats, for whose incompetence, inaction, and bad judgment they never have to suffer. We need LEGISLATION that limits such protection to those who were doing their duty, not shirking it in spades.— August 19, 2012 12:08 p.m.

Locker Room Talk May Get Her Job — but Not With Padres

Or do you believe that organisms progress or get better over time by the process of evolution?— August 18, 2012 11:33 p.m.

For ten thousand or so years, about when men started the enslavement process euphemistically called "domestication," of plants, other animals, other men, and women (increasingly and exponentially over time), they started confusing bravery with bravado, courage with brutality, and image with substance. And the beat goes on. Is it any wonder that women are drawn to romantic fantasies where men bravely fight for their right to copulate?— August 18, 2012 8:30 a.m.
