WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

British Airways all but blatantly states that all males are child molesters.

Not too familiar with the Daily Mail. Is this the UK version of Weekly World News? Or has an airline really become THAT stupid?

At least they're not banning men from flights. Didya See this post from Castle Argghhh? The City of Belmont has banned ALL smoking (outside, in your car, in the street, on the sidewalk) save from one's home. Now I don't smoke and I never have, but the logic of the city council members leaves something to be desired for rationale.

"We have a tremendous opportunity here. We need to pass as stringent a law as we can, I would like to make it illegal,” said Councilman Dave Warden. “What if every city did this, image [sic] how many lives would be saved? If we can do one little thing here at this level it will matter.”

Oh, and did you hear San Francisco closed down their JROTC program. They're going from 14 instructors to 9 instructors because they're loosing the federal funding from their decision/act. "We need to teach a curriculum of peace."

So can taxpayers demand that San Francisco be excluded from ANY Federal aid given their stance on 2nd Amendment rights? Or do they get to pick and choose and everyone else doesn't? After all, I'm sure that the SF school board would be perfectly willing to support a Junior CMP program if they didn't have to pay a cent for it right? Somehow I suspect that the response would be that they don't want to teach children to be killers or some such.

I do however believe that there's been a court case showing that the states and lesser dominations can loose funding due to failure to provide access by the Military recruitment programs.

Somehow, I'm still suspicious that the excuse hinging on "don't ask don't tell" is very convenient and not the core reason. Otherwise, it could be argued that they'd have executed such a policy shift ~10 years ago when it was the focus of a big out-roar under the Clinton Administration.

Also, JROTC operates without school support in other areas. Why can't they do that in San Francisco?

SF as an urban school district can use all the help it can get?

I believe there's been a fair amount of talk on my friends list (and in my lj!) about whether drugs, legal or illegal are a human right or not. Mostly the consensus seems to be not.

A lot of places don't have JROTC. Hell, lots of places don't have ROTC. I don't see this as a huge deal.
