Dear colleagues,
I have no disposition to linger on John Moss's odd preoccupation with ana=
l sex except to note that there is no sexual practice limited to same-sex=
couples, nor yet any sexual practice which is universal among them. Epi=
demiology has marched on since the early 80s, too; more recent studies mi=
ght yield more apposite information about the risks of sex generally.
Jacob Spencer brings up the old "man marries dog" argument, which might b=
e compelling if there were any other circumstance in which one could show=
that dogs were permitted to enter into legal contracts, but which is oth=
erwise pure silliness, like most of the rest of his argument.
In the absence of anything more substantial than this, I think it's fair =
to acknowledge another of the impasses that characterize our Vision 2020 =
conversations and ask if anyone knows how this rain will affect the wheat=
and lentil harvests . . . and if somebody wants to know by what standard=
, let 'em listen to the Farm Report.
