Re: Not necessarily evil, per se
i quote a man who says it better than i could:
quote:
The best 30 years in our history were from 1947 to 1977 when the top marginal tax rate on income ranged from 91% in 1947, to 70% in 1977, with no distinction between wages and capital gains, "unearned income"! ...we were the number one supplier of all types of consumer goods to the whole world until Japan and Europe recovered from WW2, but also because owners put profits back into their companies to avoid paying those high income tax rates.
Since Reagan and Bush got top marginal rates down as low as 28% the rich have not had restraint on what they paid themselves. The rich have had over 10 years now to benefit from Bush’s tax cuts but where are the jobs they should have created? The only jobs they created were in Mexico or China or Southeast Asia! ...allowing the corporations to get out from under American wages and benefits and to take advantage of slave labor outside our borders..."

Re: Not necessarily evil, per se
I fully agree. That is one of the reasons the 50s & 60s are special.

a different take
here is another state making laws about teaching homosexual curriculums: http://www.npr.org/...if-public-schools-to-teach-gay-history
I am not against this either. States Rights in action.

Re: a different take
The law OP mentions and is discussed is so very different than the one you bring up.
The Tennesee law is censorship.
The Cali law is adding some to the curricullum.
The Tenn. law is not even just removing something from the curicullum, it is direct censorship.

Re: a different take
I think Arty is trying to show us that his reasoning for not being against the law isn't because he hates fags.
