Incentives and Cultural Biases and the Foster Children Who Pay

No child should ever be placed in foster care if there are loved ones to care for them, no matter the native status. PERIOD. Foster care should always be the last resort because it is a truly awful thing to do to a child. It lives with them for the rest of their lives, like a ghost howling in their ear.

Don't Be Angry With the 47%

It should not anger you that 47% of people don't pay taxes. It should anger you that 47% of the citizens of your country are too poor to pay taxes.

Secular and Atheist are Not the Same Thing

Secular and atheist do not mean the same thing. It would be beneficial to encouraging productive conversations if we did not use these words interchangeably.

Domestic Violence Legal in Topeka

In order to cut costs, Topeka decriminalized beating your wife without a weapon. If you get married, you are no longer entitled to the same protections of the law. It is hard enough now to get protection when the laws do protect you. Now, it is frightening to think what is going to happen. To all those people who say feminism is not necessary today -- I disagree. http://politi.co/qlYbIz

The Ad Hom Wrapper

Saying you don't like my tone is not a position against my argument. It is ad hominem wrapped in a temper tantrum. You don't have to like me for me for my position to be accurate.
