And again, this is an NPS management problem. Fire everyone at Yosemite; rehire and reassign the handful who may not be ok with this. Quote

My guess would be that some people would roll their eyes. And those people would be hailed as champions of your great autocrat. And then life would go on. Amazing “what if” though! Quote

When should big government step in? That's easy--when parents and teachers start mutilating God's beautiful children. Or when a man demands I call him a woman under threat of career--or even law. That's when. Quote

I’m old enough I can’t seem to adjust to all the “what people choose to be called” thing. I’ve tried, but failed almost every time. But what adults choose to be or call themselves, I don’t care. bizarre leap you’re making there to call for firing all Yosemite NPS because a third party did a protest. They are removing the flag. Are they supposed to line up the protesters and shoot them? What is the First Amendment? Quote

Are they supposed to line up the protesters and shoot them? What is the First Amendment? Whose God? Ours. The One proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, the Pledge of Allegiance, and most State Constitutions--including Washington State's. Kids, we agree. I don't even think parents should have the right to alter their children--much less their public school teachers. Adults? Like you, I don;t really care--until they start stealing my granddaughter's trophy or scholarship and make absurd demands that I "properly" gender them. I choose to not participate in a fantasy. Sorry, O'Brien, but two plus two does not equal five. Men cannot become women. They don;t menstruate. They can't have children. Re Yosemite NP, well, what's bizarre is hanging a giant banner proclaiming that "Trans is Natural." But my complaint is entrenched government meting out different responses to different interests. The first amendment doesn't include defacing national parks--or impersonating a federal LEO. Edited 13 hours ago by Fairweather 1 Quote
olyclimber Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago I respect your religion though I can’t say I share your god. You’re believing for both of us I guess. Is your god in the Constitution of the USA? Isn’t there something about separation of church and state? 1 Quote
Fairweather Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago 4 hours ago, olyclimber said: Is your god in the Constitution of the USA? Isn’t there something about separation of church and state? No to both questions. The myth of separation comes from the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. If there is no God, then to whom do we answer? The state? Quote
