I said at the end of the previous post that I considered the matter closed. By that I meant that the Food Coop has done what they needed to do -- they reprimanded an employee for distributing bigoted materials, and in so doing they have acknowledged that this kind of bigotry does … [Read more...]
Thanks to the Food Coop
A young lady, an employee of the Food Coop, has acknowledged on the radio that she was the one distributing the "boycott list" of kirker businesses out of the Coop, and that she was reprimanded for doing so. I want to publicly thank the Food Coop for taking action, for doing the … [Read more...]
The Scapegoat
The first thing we must do is distinguish the scapegoat of Leviticus, and a coinage of William Tyndale, from the scapegoat of popular usage. Girard has something to say of the former, of course, but his focus is on the latter. He spends a good bit of time defending his approach … [Read more...]
Bigotry Is As Bigotry Does, Sez I

No Incumbents
Our Moscow City Council election is about a week and a half away. For those involved, the simplest rule of thumb is to vote for no incumbents, which would include Lamar, Ament, and Pall. They have been been hip-deep in the antics of the last several years, and there are a few … [Read more...]
So Then, Dumbledore Is Gay, They Say
I don't think there is any way to take the news that Dumbledore turns out to be homosexual as anything other than a stellar business. I haven't heard such good news since that business about Gore and the Nobel Prize. This announcement made a bunch of issues just float right up to … [Read more...]
