...such.Furthermore, gay students who should benefit most from affirmative action policies would be least positioned to. Gay students who have had to hide their sexuality throughout high school because of hostile communities and families, likely would be unable to denote their homosexuality on an application. Instead, students who have grown up in more tolerant settings in which they are comfortable discussing their sexual orientation openly—that is, the students who need affirmative action the least—would benefit the most. The implementation of affirmative action for gay applicants, then, could end up working against itself.To be sure...
...inconsequential compared to the long-term effects of criminal records. Unfortunately, marijuana represents the counterculture to many Americans. In subsidizing the prejudices of culture warriors, the U.S. government is subsidizing organized crime. The drug war’s distortion of immutable laws of supply and demand makes an easily grown weed literally worth its weight in gold.

You see grown men doing this stuff in order to get into a power position, and it's really kind of disgraceful...

...Moscow, now grown opulent and apathetic on petrodollars and compliant to shrinking freedoms, has not seen such a mass demonstration in years. Nor have other cities like St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg in the Urals, where mass rallies to pay homage to Politkovskaya were also held. The badly divided remnants of once-strong liberal political parties fail to attract more than a few hundred to their rallies now. Perhaps, not unlike 25 years ago, it takes the funeral of an individual of rare honesty, courage and popularity to jolt the people out of complacency - and to the realization that there...
