talkpolitics1) I have to admit that I spent some time thinking about the post we had a few days ago about prejudice being used for a good end.
A real-world example that we might all want to think about is provided in the movie Outrage! where republican lawmakers who make anti-gay laws are outted by the gay community to the rest of the world--this uses prejudice to get those republicans out of office, because the republicans gay-hating voters will now gay-hate the republican.
I'm not saying this is good or bad. Just a real-world example.
I retract some of my harsher language on that front.
2) Who the HELL would run as Ron Paul's VP if he actually gets the nomination?
Can you imagine which whackjob would WANT to run with Ron Paul? Who's crazy enough? Any guesses? What's the funniest ticket you could realistically imagine?
