Why This Class Picture Featuring a Disabled Child Has His Mom So Upset

June 17, 2013 at 3:02pm

A competent photographer would have thought of putting the wheelchair in front of the bleachers. Is this class picture evidence of insensitivity, or just carelessness, sleep deprivation, maybe stupidity? Hard to say. But some of the commenters make a good point: if this is even the worst group picture taken of this child in his life, he’ll be a lucky man.

Any competent photographer would’ve known to put the wheelchair in front.
Could a Christian Baker Who Refused to Make Wedding Cake for a Gay Couple Really Go to Jail?

How exactly did this baker find out whose “marriage” the cake was intended for? They told him, right? If you choose not to do business in a businesslike way, as a Cash Customer, no gossip or chatter, but to blab your personal affairs to everyone with whom you come in contact, then you need to expect some feedback about what you choose to tell them! I say the baker would be within his traditional U.S. legal rights (although he’d be a fool) if he chose to refuse service to another customer because “That girl/boy is no good for your son/daughter, I know the family, your kid can do better,” or any of the other things gossipy people traditionally say when they’re allowed to know ANYTHING about anyone else’s private life. Don’t want people to tell you what they think of your lifestyle choices? Don’t chat about what those choices are.

@Walnutportconservative: Some Black writers do take offense. As a woman I certainly do. Prejudice against the behavior choice of publicizing private thoughts that other people don’t like is a completely different thing from prejudice against the kind of body into which someone was born.

Ha. Ha. Reminds me of a true story from when I lived there. Rats invaded Takoma Park (despite the cats) and some vegetarian type proposed that the rats could be humanely trapped and released in a nature park within the boundaries of Rockville. (At one time the populations were comparable, but a LOT more land was within the boundaries of Rockville.) And this was seriously proposed, and seconded, before somebody said, “What if people in Rockville started releasing all their rats in Takoma Park?”

‘No Trust’: How Does the IRS ‘Inquisition’ Impact ObamaCare?

May 15, 2013 at 2:26pm

Right. The IRS ticks everyone off. Obamacare ticks everyone off. Everybody’s venting.

Now a serious thought: Even those who most want a national medical care system are starting to realize how disastrous Obamacare would be if implemented. Is anybody interested in a serious move to repeal Obamacare and replace it with something useful? I have an idea for one that should appeal to those who really want a national medical care plan…and we could call attention to the idea that patients who choose to pay for their own care could remain anonymous, as a perk!

Well, yes and no. If the information is stored on computers with access to the same Internet (“for verification”) and can be found using the same search terms, it’s about as likely to be shared as if it were printed in a letter and mailed to each of two (or more) offices.

And if you don’t think federal employees have a LOT of time to kill on useless, unwelcome projects that make them look busy, you’ve not spent much time in Washington.
