These two and Mark Leno, must not continue forward politically. Stopping these three can be the shot across the bow for other politicians. Got to start somewhere, to lose support from the biggest Queer org. in California is a good start. A Human Rights start. <br /><br />Here's the Equality California PAC endorsements:<br />http://www.eqca.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=kuLRJ9MRKrH&b=5609563&ct=13727621&notoc=1<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />CA AB768 | 2013-2014 | Regular Session | LegiScan<br />legiscan.com/CA/bill/AB768/2013<br /><br />2013 CA AB768 (Summary) Sexually violent predators: conditional release.KOTFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06711334493621537901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-83193800702631065602013-03-03T13:18:12.428-08:002013-03-03T13:18:12.428-08:00Oh you poor Americans, you're falling behind t...Oh you poor Americans, you're falling behind the rest of the developed civilized world....The Spirit Moleculehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08912165852611624938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-79403989971521504142011-09-05T08:01:49.181-07:002011-09-05T08:01:49.181-07:00Please read this excellent report, especially the ...Please read this excellent report, especially the passages about patriarchy.<br /><br />http://www.noharmm.org/muted1.htm#_Toc212622385tovangar2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10420616447094676200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-31182983886182886132011-09-02T10:47:51.151-07:002011-09-02T10:47:51.151-07:00@Walabio

The ADL started out as something good, but it has slowly become that which it was supposed to protect others from; one giant bully who uses the "anti-Semite!" victim card to get their way. I've talked about this in a recent post, but whereas in the past, pulling the "anti-Semite!" card out would usually shut down debate, as you can see by how much the intactivist movement has grown, that's not so much the case anymore.<br /><br />@Tom<br />Seriously!<br /><br />How I envy those with flowing eloquence. In case you haven't already noticed, I can ramble on for hours and never quite get to the point. Some people have a way of getting their point across in just a few carefully chosen words. I suppose that will come with time and practice. I always appreciate your take on things.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190648498809795551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-44668494410086342962011-09-02T08:02:46.967-07:002011-09-02T08:02:46.967-07:00By deference, I specifically mean this:

Politicians love money. This is how it works.<br /><br />As for the AntiDefamationLeague, it started out protecting the civil rights of Jews trampled upon by religious bigots, but since about 2000, it has been hijacked by Jews religious biggot and violates the rights of Jewish Minors. That is why intactivisticaln Jews no longer support the ADL. The ADL has become what it hates.Walabiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344805981006822411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-5415409053998020602011-09-01T21:17:02.652-07:002011-09-01T21:17:02.652-07:00Thanks for the compliment!

I've made the change.<br /><br />If I may ask, what do you mean by your usage of the word "deference" here?<br /><br />Do you mean the way in which the doctors completely wash their hands of responsibility and say "those nasty parents made me do it!"?Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190648498809795551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-22220135481667798202011-09-01T20:52:24.760-07:002011-09-01T20:52:24.760-07:00Strong post!

Please make sure that California politicians are sent copies.<br /><br />As an aside, change "Placing the responsibility of determining the medical necessity of a surgical procedure on parents" to "Placing on parents the responsibility of determining the medical necessity of a surgical procedure"; I would also explicitly mention the bizarre nature of the deference shown to laymen by highly-trained physicians (whose own professional medical organizations don't put much stock in the surgery, no less).Tom Riddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994425531096864789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-55727653094668694652011-09-01T01:00:55.662-07:002011-09-01T01:00:55.662-07:00You are so right on!

I just wondered, where were the medical doctors at the hearing to talk about why the AAP does not recommend circumcision, and the holes in the health benefit claims? And where were the doctors who could have substantiated the facts about the functions of the foreskin, and verify the important natural functions of the foreskin? Why was no one bringing up the discrepency of the 14th amendment which states "equal protection under the law"? Even if female circumcision is somewhat different, it doesn't make it all that different, it is still cutting healthy infant genitals in both. I don't understand why there wasn't more opposition voiced?Marehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02459075868394984956noreply@blogger.com
