For anyone who missed it, the big red pencil came out and established a line that we do not cross, established that we do not go backwards no matter how much some feel they are entitled to tell other people what to do with their personal dignity in relation to love. That would be the legislature …

Brother Iain points out a truth related to the Dion doltosity and the rush to shout "Jack Hughes!" that also points out many things about the GOTCHA! world of both politics and internet discourse: Turner was a Brit.  •  “Not the words one would expect to hear from a former company director on the …
