Same sex marriage isn't gay privilege. It's equal rights. Privilege would be something like gay people not paying tax. Like churches don't. | |

When nonviolence is preached as an attempt to evade the repercussions of political brutality, it betrays itself. When nonviolence begins halfway through the war with the aggressor calling time out, it exposes itself as a ruse.

The evolution of morality – Allen Buchanan and Russell Powell – Aeon
http://aeon.co/magazine/philosophy/morality-may-have-evolved-but-it-isnt-fixed/
The trend toward an increasing inclusivist morality among humans, which shows no sign of being a transient cultural artefact, demonstrates that both traditional conservatives and evo-conservatives underestimate our ability to extend our moral capacities well beyond the confines of our evolved moral psychology. This has been accomplished not just through technologies that extend the reach of our moral emotional responses, but also through reasoned debate, moral education, and the creation of domestic and international institutions tasked with making sure the expanding moral circle does not contract. We believe, and we hope, that this is the future of human morality.

'Sugar and carbs are the obesity culprits, not lack of exercise' Medical News Today
As an industry example of providing "misleading" information, the authors say that Coca-Cola spent 3.3 billion US dollars on advertising in 2013, and that the company "pushes a message that 'all calories count;' they associate their products with sport, suggesting it is OK to consume their drinks as long as you exercise."
"However, science tells us this is misleading and wrong," says the article, adding:

JAMA Network | JAMA | Autism Occurrence by MMR Vaccine Status Among US Children With Older Siblings With and Without Autism
http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2275444
receipt of the MMR vaccine was not associated with increased risk of ASD, regardless of whether older siblings had ASD. These findings indicate no harmful association between MMR vaccine receipt and ASD even among children already at higher risk for ASD.

Arizona HOA Foreclosures | Nolo.com
http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/arizona-hoa-foreclosures.html
The HOA or COA can get a lien for penalties, fines, and related fees after the entry of a judgment in a civil suit, but it cannot foreclose that lien (Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1807(A), §33-1256(A)). Basically, Arizona law makes a distinction between assessments and fines, and allows foreclosure actions only based on liens for unpaid assessments and related charges, but not for fines

Fortunately for homeowners, Arizona has adopted the Planned Community Act and the Condominium Act that provide some protections for homeowners regardless of the powers given to the HOA in its community documents. Arizona courts have also placed restrictions upon HOA power that apply to all HOAs, regardless of the HOA's rules.

Arizona distillery wins at stiff competition

The most impressive win: a Double Gold medal for its Desert Dry Gin, which uses Arizona botanicals from Cottonwood. Being awarded a Double Gold is notable any year, but what's especially impressive is that the Gin category has nearly tripled in popularity over the last three years.

Skeptic » Insight » Stranger Than Fiction: A Review of the HBO documentary, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief
In many ways, the story of Scientology is similar to another cult which misappropriated the cachet of "Science" in its name: "Christian Science" (which is neither Christian nor scientific). When it was founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879, its message of faith healing was powerful, and it became a large organization with hundreds of thousands of members. But today it is virtually extinct, with lots of property ("Christian Science Reading Rooms") but almost no one occupying their rooms. Estimates made in 2009 suggested that there were fewer than 50,000 remaining members, worldwide. At a plausible attrition rate of 4000 lost members per year (extrapolating from declining Christian Science Sentinel subscription rates), Mary Baker Eddy's once-powerful church could well be extinct within a decade. What killed it? Modern medicine. When it was founded, medicine was primitive and often detrimental to a patient's health. Just as in the case of homeopathy, harmless placebos like faith healing or homeopathic "cures" often were just as effective as real medicine. But a century later, real medicine has made enormous advances, while Christian Scientists keep dying off by refusing it. They are also very stodgy and conservative ("reading rooms" rather than internet presence), and not very active in recruiting. Will Scientology follow Christian Science into extinction? If present trends continue, it's very likely.
