The article did not mention the word "Democrat" or "Democratic". This article is like the primaries - the gamut from A to B. The representatives are the people who have or come from families with substantially above median income (top 10%), are primarily concerned with taxes, have graduated or anticipate graduating from college, and work or expect to work at jobs where they can be out in Google-able print and not suffer repercussions. It is hardly a surprise when the "LGBT" Republican (or Tea Party) representatives are white men. <br /><br />It seems that this town's advertisers are unwilling to buy space in an actual news-containing magazine, and prefer to buy space in entertainment-only magazines (ok, bar rags) that won't express views opposed to those of the bar owners. St. Louis readers don't demand much either.<br /><br />Economics plays a role, as well as the usual -isms.NancyPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-87132389674750285322010-06-08T02:48:25.213-05:002010-06-08T02:48:25.213-05:00You know, I read that article several times and co...You know, I read that article several times and couldn't articulate exactly why it made me so uncomfortable....

Unless, by gamete, he meant to send the message that the opinions outlined in the article are in the very early stages of cell division.<br /><br />Which, the more I think of it, seems somewhat apropos, no?Jeffrey Rickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092417221754047322noreply@blogger.com
