    Naturally Equal Rights

    A friend of mine and I recently got into a 3 a.m. drunken debate on gay marriage that quickly turned into an argument about gay adoption. His argument was that if nature didn’t promote a gay family, then why should humanity? For example, if you left two people on an…

    Some What-If’s

    What if China thought our government was a direct threat to its national security and decided to attack us based on that reason? What if the Chinese won? They would probably set up a base in Washington, D.C. and attempt to impose their system of government upon us. Would we…
