Just the Place for Big Government

Everything must be equal.

Yeah, that's pretty dumb. Not as dumb as a private school where children spend 9 hours a day phonetically memorizing the Koran, but still pretty dumb.

I recently got the impression that female commentators on both, your blog, as well as on one other, are severely underrepresented, and hence, I demand that federal regulations are being made about this. For every five male responses you get to any single one of your posts, five female responses have to be guaranteed by whatever means, and even, if that sucks and blows up the topic at issue, it has to be enforced strictly - be it through the selection of issues in the first place. Well, at least, you have to provide a female-issue section on your blog.

Note - I know that this analogy hangs a bit, but I, as a female, find the whole gender-discrimination debate (and the resulting regulations) laughable at times. I personally do not need or demand regulations in order to do what I want and to feel good about myself. Least of all, I would want to have cheerleaders around. But, cool idea. However, then, I would want to have MALE cheerleaders to cheer for the girls. That'd be TRUELY equal.

This blog isn't funded by public funds (to the best of my knowledge). Which pretty much blows up that analogy, even though I still think the enforced cheerleading thing is stupid.
