A strife of interests
Following President Obama’s ambitiously upbeat State of the Union address, I was reminded, all too soon, of this Ambrose Bierce quote.
Arguments for and against same-sex marriage today
Plaintiffs, and attorneys from both sides of the issue, are preparing to face off – once again – over the legality of same-sex marriage. This time before a three-judge panel, at the 10th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, Thursday, April 10, 2014. But having witnessed this battle finally go to the mat, as…
Utah! Where seldom gets heard – a discouraging word
Curt Bramblin’ Man looks to trump Count My Vote initiative, in Utah
Utah’s animus dresses up in white, before 10th US Circuit Court
Love is deemed chaste, because of its certain natural innocence. So when Governor Gary Herbert declared it was his duty to defend Utah’s Amendment III, I was reminded of George Bernard Shaw’s observation.

Available, along with his other books on Amazon, Associate Professor of Psychology, at the University of Manitoba, Bob Altemeyer has never the less offered The Authoritarians free of charge – in PDF book form – to…
Condoning Republican Rubes in Utah
The presumptuous message, delivered by LDS General Authority Dallin H Oaks, in his LDS General Conference address, a week and a half ago – reiterating their position that the Mormon Church will never ‘condone’ same-sex marriage, by once again invoking ‘the Word God’ – has stuck in my craw like one more Westboro Baptist…
Mormons continue to knock women and gays.
From the Salt Lake Tribune headlines: Leaders say Mormons cannot condone same-sex marriage. While I realize that Elder Dallin H. Oaks was speaking to the ‘faithful,’ while issuing the official talking points, and marching orders, the tone – especially as heard by those outside ‘the faith’ – was truly dreadful. Can’t condone? What kind…
