It is not the government's job to give benifits to anyone over time. If a person is an asset pay them then and now and forget tying benifits to conditions. <br />It is also not the government's business to be into anyones gender or sex life. End government marriage and government reconizeing gender as a form of identfication.<br /><br />hsstAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-58797914756581209432012-07-26T03:51:16.377+10:002012-07-26T03:51:16.377+10:00Just because I object to it doesn't make it th...Just because I object to it doesn't make it the truth.<br /><br />Dr. Ride was a person with an alternative sexuality who lived it with grace; no need for shouting in the streets, or dedicating her life to blogs on how she isn't being treated fairly. I would recommend her as a role model to all you self-victimizing do-nothings.<br /><br />-StephenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-69832238193715585972012-07-25T11:58:12.391+10:002012-07-25T11:58:12.391+10:00For the record, here's what I wrote in the NYT...For the record, here's what I wrote in the NYT comment:<br /><br /><i>"Don't you DARE say she's a National Hero.<br />Don't you DARE say she's an Inspiration.<br /><br />Not when you have a Federal Act that prevents her partner from getting a widow's benefits, ostensibly "to protect marriage". That explicitly makes her and her partner pariahs.<br /><br />The hypocrisy would be too much.<br /><br />Yes, she's an inspiration, and a national heroine, but you don't have the right to say so, not when you treat her widow like that."</i><br /><br />That seems to have touched a nerve. The truth hurts.<br /><br />I'll quote the Terms of Service, as some obviously either can't read, or think they're above sich things:<br /><br /><i>Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.<br />Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.</i><br /><br />Please add a monicker next time, so I can sort you out from all the others who wish me ill.

How stupid do you have to be, to politicized her death for your own, warped agenda? Dr. O has been very well taken care of, but what do you care?

You have to either be for gay marriage or against it, but nobody is asking the more fundamental question of whether government should be involved in the matter at all.<br /><br />Same is true for many topics of political conversation, the basic underlying assumptions that everybody assumes to be a matter of eternal truth, when actually researched (and by research I mean Google) turn out to be quite ephemeral.Jennifernoreply@blogger.com
