Now, if you think you do have rights, I have one last assignment for ya. Next time you're at the computer get on the Internet, go to Wikipedia. When you get to Wikipedia, in the search field for Wikipedia, i want to type in, "Japanese-Americans 1942" and you'll find out all about your precious fucking rights. Alright. You know about it.
In 1942 there were 110,000 Japanese-American citizens, in good standing, law abiding people, who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That's all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers, no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had was...right this way! Into the internment camps.
Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most...their government took them away. and rights aren't rights if someone can take em away. They're priveledges. That's all we've ever had in this country is a bill of TEMPORARY priviledges; and if you read the news, even badly, you know the list get's shorter, and shorter, and shorter.
Probably also a big reason why it's less profitable - consumers are upgrading more and more slowly. In part because of the performance gains being smaller, in part because a lot of components are getting more expensive. In that way it's a self fulfilling prophecy.
Either way, Americans might as well get to the next step on this journey. If the military is not on their side, whatever is happening now doesn't matter anyways. If they are, this abuse is cut short instead of dragging on, to who knows what end. Heck, it might lead to keeping this stain on the USA's history from getting any darker.
Do you accept that people can prefer partners older or younger than them? If so, do you really think that's something that can be dealt with by some kind of "conversion therapy"?
Both of those can be true.
