In other words, when I present novel arguments and opinions, their lack of
repetition in other sources is prima facie evidence that my arguments and
opinions are not credible.
On the other hand, if I present novel arguments and opinions that are
present in other sources, then I am merely "running with the pack."
Thank you Michael and Robert for making right-wingers feel really welcome
here as credible participants of Brin-L.

Unfortunately, there is no hope of the atrocious ruling from the
Massachusetts Supreme Court being struck down. Which is why we need a
FMA. Especially since this phenomenon has also sprung up in New Mexico
and now New Paltz, and who knows where else in the two years or so at
*minimum* it would take to pass a Constitutional Amendment.
Personally, I think that it is instructive that it has been how many days
now that this "semicolon" delay has lasted, and San Francisco is *still*
handing out faux marriage certificates.
