I think you are on to something. The passage of the anti-sex trafficking law, the seizure of Backpage, all that happened last week, seems more than just coincidental.

Expect names to come out of this; I would not be surprised if this lawyer will be one of them.

nyt gets down and dirty - what a disgrace:

15 April: NYT: He Called Out Sick, Then Apologized for Leaving This World
By Liz Robbins and Jan Ransom
His family and friends acknowledged that Mr. Buckel had become distraught recently over the national politics of climate change — “all that’s going on with the Trump administration and the rollback by Pruitt at the Environmental Protection Agency,” Mr. Kaelber (Buckel’s partner of nearly 34 years) said, referring to agency’s embattled administrator, Scott Pruitt...

"...common sense gun control might have saved him..."

AR-15s cause global warming and spontaneous combustion. It’s common knowledge. That’s why the NRA loves them.

We all should decide what we are willing to die for and he has chosen. It is sad that he has chosen to die for one of the greatest boons to mankind that has ever been invented, the use of fossil fuels.

Wide spread distribution of electricity was achieved largely through the use of fossil fuels. Many lives around the world have been improved.

The invention of the internal combustion engine through the use of fossil fuels has improved the distribution of goods, construction of grand buildings, transportation for millions around the world. Elimination of mega tons of poop if it were still done with horses.

But I do like the poetic justice and symbolism of him using fossil fuels do do his stupid deed.

I will finish my coffee sitting here in my warm house all courtesy of fossil fuels and smile.

Burning oneself to death is a sure sign of insanity. So is chopping one’s dicque off. So is claiming to be the sex that one isn’t.

“Lets NOT discourage this....”

I know, right. I think until a few hundred more like him make the axact same point...meh, they’re not really serious yet.

Like the PETA protestors that were wrapped in clear plastic on white styrofoam boards to imitate meat packages. They should’ve been real butchered meat in there, then I’d take them seriously.

Maybe these people will start showing us they truly believe in their message, too: http://vhemt.org

C’mon Darwin!

You know, I’m going to recommend a mustard-based Carolina BBQ sauce for this one.

Valid question for environmental Nazis.

For entertainment. Just to watch their collective heads explode.
