I took a little wander through that post and look what I found:

When everything becomes genocide, then nothing is really genocide, and the word becomes mere grist to be ground in amy ideological mill.

If you modify that to...

When everything becomes marriage, then nothing is really marriage, and the word becomes mere grist to be ground in amy ideological mill.

...you have a distilled essence of the argument against gay marriage, possibly the one sentence that can save the institution.

There are other instances where this distillation can be exercised. The bastardization is not just of language, but of institutions. Thank you Mortimer Snavely

I will miss him. He was one of my best friends. Here is the notice I had received:

---

Dearest friends and loved ones of (snip) - he was found dead about 5:00 pm 05 July. He had apparently had a heart attack was the decision of the Medical Examiner. He was loved by you and many others - all who knew him were impressed with his great intellect but he was so much more than that. One could ask for no finer friend or more dedicated worker for those who employed him. I am sure he will be missed by you all. (snip)

And so he will, even by those who never got him. I knew him to be a good man.

His most recent tag-line was:

Comitas, Firmitas, Gravitas, Humanitas, Industria

Comitas: courteousness
Gravitas: substance
Humanitas: humaneness
Industria: industriousness

He was at least all that..

May we meet again someday. Rest in peace, my good friend..
