the right to not extend benefits to people who need them.
If God wanted them to have benefits, He'd have given them to them.
Smug SOBs.
edit: Amazing how many of those people suddenly turn into Darwinists: "If they weren't smart/skilled/rich enough to achieve those things, then they don't deserve them."
Well, it's one thing when really talented people act that way...it's another when you get that same argument from some idiot on livejournal or facebook. Because they're just lucky, that's all.
I always say that for every corporate executive like Bill Gates, there are a thousand more who are just as smart and talented but not as lucky.
Also, not as willing to play as dirty.
It is a little like the predestination doctrine-- we are all born full of sin, and some people have a clock of grace, and it is all predestines. But we should all act like we have the cloak of grace, just in case. So you both can and can't be blamed, simultaneously.
Ellen Gives $30,000 To Constance McMillen, Mississippi Lesbian, Over Prom Legal Flap
JACKSON, Miss. — A lesbian high school student embroiled in a legal flap over her school's prom policy has received a $30,000 scholarship on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
Constance McMillen was speechless Friday when the talk show host pulled out an oversized check from the Web site Tonic.Com, a digital media company.
DeGeneres says she admires McMillen for challenging Itawamba County School District rules that would prevent her from escorting her girlfriend to the prom. The school district canceled the April 2 prom after McMillen's request.
A hearing is scheduled Monday in federal court in Aberdeen on American Civil Liberties Union efforts to force the district to hold the prom.
Go Ellen! And McMillen! And girlfriend!

Someone on Twitter just asked if I would ever write a zombie costume tutorial for Gothic Charm School. I've got to admit, the idea is attractive.
Timelies all!
And another week rolls to a close...
