DADT
Today is Sunday, 19 December 2010.
On this date in 1946, the First Indochina War began, as the Indochinese struggled for their independence from the French Empire.
And yesterday, a minor Oklahoma politician, a retired light colonel, damned gays for wishing to “parade” their sexuality in the military. And this guy is a hetero, who parades his heteroness on his ring finger. Guess he’s SPECIAL.
And OK senator Tom Coburn slams repeal of DADT as “political correctness”. Bulletin to Tom: it is correct, politically and ethically, to affirm human rights.
To the 65 senators who voted for repeal of DADT: thanks. To Tom and the other 30 bigots who voted for hate: "... in the words of my generation: UP YOURS!"

Important? Yes
Overdue? Yes
Pyhrric? I fear the answer to this is also in the affirmative. Now we can all be equally in thrall to an economic system that is making feudalism seem progressive.
Apologies for the misspelling - Pyrrhic
