And boiled down. That amounts to, You reserve the right...

...to direct/impact upon at least some aspects of the lives of others, and you refuse them the right to not have anyone interfere.

If I must be accomodating of Hasidic or Islamic attitudes towards exposed flesh, then needs must I also be accomodating to those who wish to dictate the reproductive health of their employees or customers?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
