Ponderable

The last debate is over and. Chris Wallace was the clear winner last night. His questions were clear and he did the best job of anyone during this campaign cycle (that seems to have lasted a decade). Bravo Mr. Wallace.

The family IM'ed all night and all the girls got a kick out of the non political conservative Republican Mom getting extremely animated this time around. Even an F'bomb even if she could not use the F word. I am just content that I helped raise a group that independently decided that these debates mattered and they needed to watch. Each individually in different states. Pretty proud. I will vote this weekend and put this election behind me.

Nice, all 3 of my kids are involved as well, not very common these days.
If you vote for HRC and she wins in no way will this election be behind you, it will be haunting you and this country for decades I fear.

I was wondering how it would go since he is with FoxNews, but he did a great job!

The Democracy of Indonesia is waiting for their Supreme Court to rule on whether sex outside of heterosexual marriage is an illegal act. This is a Democracy but religious extremist are pushing a theological point of view of the law. We used to do this here and I hope those that want to continue to intrude on our separation of church and state take heed.

Who is intruding but the state?
 
Video: UC-Berkeley Protesters Built a Human Wall to Violently Stop White Students from Crossing Bridge
Activists demand safe spaces for trans and queer students, eviction of campus bookstore.

http://reason.com/blog/2016/10/26/video-uc-berkeley-protesters-built-a-hum


In the video, the activists appeared to let several students of color pass unmolested, but white students were forced to find other routes. A few who tried to force their way through were violently rebuffed. Protesters shouted "Go around! Go around!" at a white man on a bicycle.

Another student was told, "This is bigger than you," by a protester. "This is about whiteness."

Afterward, the protest moved to the campus bookstore, where activists posted an eviction notice informing the owners that their building was being reclaimed as a safe space for queer and trans students.

"You are hereby notified by the students of the University of California, Berkeley, to vacate the premises immediately," the eviction notice stated. "University administration wrongly allocated this two-story facility to a third-party corporation, keeping in line with its intensifying legacy of prioritizing financial profit over student needs."

The protesters then marched through the student union, reportedly disrupting students who were studying.

I get that they are trying to make a point—they don't think campus is a safe place for marginalized students, etc.—but racism in the service of activism is still racism. These students consider themselves progressives, but what's progressive about punishing people—making it more difficult for them to get to class—because they were born with the wrong skin color?

Indeed, leftist student activism has become increasingly backward on race and identity issues as of late. The Berkeley protesters are demanding formal, university-sanctioned safe spaces for students who belong to particular identity groups. They want what can only be described as a kind of official segregation: separate spaces for students of color, trans students, queer students, etc.
