I appreciate and am sympathetic to your point, but I highly recommend re-adding "spaces between sentences" to your typing repertoire. Paragraphs, too, if you want to get fancy.

Compare and contrast; one of my high school english teachers drilled that into my head. Compare and contrast: Slave rights and gay rights; the contrasts are easy, the comparisons are profound. Slaves could not get legally married either. They could not create and sign contracts, and what is marriage mostly (legally speaking) but a huge contract with thousands of rights and responsibilities. Navanethem Pillay, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights spoke there last year saying, "That just like apartheid laws that criminalized sexual relations between different races, laws against homosexuality are increasingly becoming recognized as anachronistic and inconsistent both with international law and with traditional values of dignity, inclusion, and respect for all." Apartheid: A system of laws applied to one category of citizens in order to isolate them and keep them from having privileges and opportunities given to all others. Stop gay apartheid.

Barney tends to call it like it is. Scalia *is* a homophobe. You have to admit, Barney gets to sounding and looking more like Droopy Dog every day. http://blog.miloco.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/droopy_dog_happy.jpg
