No worries, Ron! Glad you decided to comment. I've been slow in keeping up
with my feeds as well...I recently started using Feedly again (FF plugin
that integrates w/ Google Reader), and after accepting (this time!) that it
requires me to adjust my pattern of use a little bit, I'm finding I really
like it. If you're a FF/GReader user, recommended.

Regarding the topic at hand...I'll definitely keep yelping. It's a topic
that resonates ethically with me in a very deep way. I don't even consider
the "watch out for our boys" considerations on this subject and torture to
be the most important points, as some people do (though they're certainly
relevant). It's just wrong. Many situations in the real world are
complicated, and contain nuance and shades of grey; I understand (and even
celebrate!) that. Some, however, are not; this is one of them. There are
times when you can claim things are honest mistakes, there are situations
where you can say you've changed your mind, or even were deceived. This is
none of the above, and we can't claim anything but shame.
