Beautifully Unique Sparkleponies: On Myths, Morons, Free Speech, Football, And Assorted Absurdities - Plot & Excerpts
I don’t handle lying about important stuff well. If you want to read their editorial it can be found here: http://www.twincities.com/opinion/ci_21916526/editorial-minnesota-marriage-amendment. The core of any stable society is honesty. We must be able to trust one another. We must be able to trust that contracts will be fulfilled, laws will be followed, and rights will be respected. We must be able to trust that people mean the words they say, that a government will not abuse its monopoly on military force, that news outlets will convey all the facts in a clear and impartial manner. Without trust, the only law we have is the point of the spear, the barrel of the gun. That’s why I can no longer write for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. In a recent editorial, the editorial board of the Pioneer Press claimed to present a neutral view of the proposed amendment to ban same-sex marriage. This was a lie. Instead, we were presented with a severely biased piece urging the adoption of the amendment, a piece that did its best to hide behind the facade of its purported neutrality but that let its glaring support ooze through in every twisted phrase and slimy sentence.
