Also in the PPP poll of Georgia:
Gay Marriage/Civ. Unions/No Recognition question:
.... Democrat ... Republican ... Independent/Other
Gay couples should be allowed to legally marry
....... 46% ............ 8% ............ 28%
Gay couples should be allowed to form civil unions but not marry
........ 21% ........... 31% .......... 43%
There should be no legal recognition of a gay couple's relationship
......... 29% .......... 59% .......... 28%
Not sure
......... 5% ............. 2% ........... 2%
Don’t expect the Georgia GOP to champion any gay rights.

I think that the rank and vile file members of the Georgia GOP, not to mention the entire national Tea Party, have internalized an understanding of ‘rights’ as a zero-sum game, such that if others gain rights, they must lose some. However, they are not self-aware enough to understand that this is why they are so upset.

And here, boys and girls, is why religion has proved so important to governments and leaders throughout time:
Faith-based re-entry program for prisoners saves money, reduces recidivism, Baylor study finds
A faith-based prisoner re-entry program in Minnesota has saved an estimated $3 million by reducing recidivism, according to a Baylor University study published in the International Journal of Criminology and Sociology.
[…]
“The InnerChange program is a boon to taxpayers. It doesn’t rely on public funding. Yet, at the same time, it provides a benefit by reducing recidivism, which results in fewer costs associated with crime,” said lead author Grant Duwe, Ph.D., research director for the Minnesota Department of Corrections and a non-resident scholar of Baylor’s ISR.
In the debate over whether and how faith-based groups can be effective in working with government and secular entities to confront social ills, “this kind of research will be called for by policymakers,” Johnson said. “It just makes sense. Taxpayers want to know whether programs work – especially when religion is involved.”
The cost-benefit analysis followed up on a 2012 study that compared recidivism outcomes among 732 offenders released from Minnesota prisons between August 2003 and December 2009. In that study, a comparison group of 366 prisoners — who did not take part in the program — were carefully matched with 366 InnerChange participants on factors associated with recidivism and program participation. The results showed that InnerChange reduced re-arrest by 26 percent, re-conviction by 35 percent and re-imprisonment for a new felony offense by 40 percent.
Duwe and Johnson studied post-release employment and recidivism outcomes to estimate InnerChange’s financial impact on state income tax contributions, victimization costs, criminal justice system costs and lost productivity of prisoners. They found that the program produced a benefit of nearly $8,300 per participant.
InnerChange includes Christian religious services, Bible study and prayer, substance abuse education, cognitive skill development, mentoring and seminars, as well as aftercare involving support groups, peer mentoring, interaction with volunteers and individual counseling. Those in the program need not be Christians, and volunteers, who are screened, represent a variety of denominations but need not be theologically trained.
[…]
InnerChange is part of Chuck Colson’s organization.
One of the functions of religion in a society is behavior modification. Leaders of society know this, and thus they exploit or accommodate this function.
This is one reason why religion is so sticky in a society. Religion and Law are bound at the hip, in the big picture of human culture.

Still, elephants are very intelligent, and killing them seems to a kind of mammalicide that we ought not support.
The reason SA has “too many elephants” is because human population growth and thus land demands are in conflict with the elephant population. Elephants are protected and thus may grow in population also, but are no where near on the continent what they were a couple of hundred years ago.
Remember, Elephantidae once roamed the northern continents in number… and we finally solved that problem, didn’t we?

Debatable. According to most of the materials I’ve read, it’s believed that human hunting, while supplying some pressure to the population, was no where near sufficient to kill off the northern populations. Climate change at the end of the last ice age, rather, did far more damage than humans with stone weapons.
We have done enough damage, to be sure, but we aren’t always the reason for a change in the natural environment.

re: #95 engineer cat
i still haven’t figured out how to use “fuck” as a preposition
all the other parts of speech are covered, though…
One summer during college I worked in a warehouse with one woman who managed to use ‘fuck’ as pretty much every part of speech, except, yeah, preposition.

Christ in a piece of toast, I just do not understand people:
McConnell Campaign Posts Photo Of Campaign Manager Holding His Nose
If it were me, I’d have fired the guy in a heartbeat.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the concept of “Well, this guy pretty much embarrassed me on the national stage, so I’ll keep him around and stage a photo op.”
My only explanations are that McConnell is going senile; he’s being blackmailed by Rand Paul; or he’s so afraid of the Tea Baggers, he’ll humilate himself any which way to win their vote.
Not as sad as Weiner or Filner’s behaviors, but a close second.

A peson named GENLA99 replied to my comment at TPM, and I think nailed it. It’s a combo of #2 and #3:
Very tough if said employee is related by marriage to Rand Paul and was brought on board specifically to increase the TP cred. Tough calculus - which is worse, trying to ride it out and pray for Bevins or Grimes to stumble or open a full scale war with the TPs?

Yeah. This might require a dip into Middle English.
It puts me in mind of the scene from “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”:
Car Rental Agent: [cheerfully] Welcome to Marathon, may I help you?
Neal: Yes.
Car Rental Agent: How may I help you?
Neal: You can start by wiping that fucking dumb-ass smile off your rosey, fucking, cheeks! And you can give me a fucking automobile: a fucking Datsun, a fucking Toyota, a fucking Mustang, a fucking Buick! Four fucking wheels and a seat!
Car Rental Agent: I really don’t care for the way you’re speaking to me.
Neal: And I really don’t care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking nowhere with fucking keys to a fucking car that isn’t fucking there. And I really didn’t care to fucking walk, down a fucking highway, and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile in my fucking face. I want a fucking car RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
Car Rental Agent: May I see your rental agreement?
Neal: I threw it away.
Car Rental Agent: Oh boy.
Neal: Oh boy, what?
Car Rental Agent: You’re fucked!

I think it’s more that they hate Obama more than they love the troops. Besides, they’re probably not happy with the troops today, what with Obama getting an ‘OOORAH!’ reception from the Marines at Camp Pendleton.
