MT problems
Apparently, sometimes when I create a post it creates 0 byte HTML files instead of the post, so some things have been broken lately.
Sorry about that.

Today, the opinions page is the John and Brian Pierce show, with two columns each from both of us. Public Good? is a point-counterpoint on gay marriage as a prelude to the panel discussion on gay marriage Brian and I will be on Thursday, April 20th at 7pm in the Union - Illini Room A.
The second article, Social Justice for Immigrants is an article defending enforcement of immigration laws from a social justice perspective.
I’m sure the hate mail will be flowing freely as apparently I generate the most letters of any other writer for the DI.
UPDATE:
For instance, hate mail like this. Oh wait, that’s really warm and compassionate… my bad.
DI Letter Fun
There were two amusing letters the past few days. This one continues to attack me for a position I don’t hold and tries to make an attempt to call me a heretic at that. This amuses me.
First, the Church has authority to declare teachings that require obedience in the areas of faith and morals… only. Even if the documents in question were meant to authoritatively establish evolution as a theory of creation, they would still not be binding under the authority of the Church.
Two, I never, at any point, stated I (1) believe in Intelligent Design or (2) that evolution was wrong, or (3) that Intelligent Design is scientific. In fact, for the later two, I said the exact opposite.
Three, the talk I reference in my column was held at a Catholic Church, and for that matter, not one that is known for heterodoxy.
Once again, illiteracy seems to reign.
The second letter criticized an earlier editorial for the various anti-war groups hording annual township meetings to get impeachment and anti-war referenda on the ballot. The idea that the DI (who ran out Acton for publishing politically incorrect cartoons) is the ideological soulmate of the OBO is amusing.
