Ladyboy Marriage

If Gay Marriage should be a right, how about ladyboy marriage?

Becky has a nice take on it that when gay marriage comes to Utah the rapture cannot be far behind. I guess it is just whose behind we are discussing that matters in a literalistic sense.

I think the case can be made that people should be allowed to do pretty much whatever the hell they want as long as they do not hurt others in doing so. It is only in cases of harm that government should intercede to protect the rights of both parties.

In parts of Asia where everything seems to be illegal, people do everything anyway.

I mean, who would ever really know that in the above picture of the Band they are all men? I bet half of you young men out there would love to marry one of these "girls" and only later (but hopefully not too late) figure out that they are not tastefully carrying a mango in their thong underwear.

I am proud to say that I have male friends who look like this, and one of them has been my friend for a long time, his/her name is Tuk and he/ she hails from Udon Thani, Thailand and moved to Bangkok and now works at near Wat Kanlaya on Charan Sanit Wong road near the elephant park but I would never think of getting to close to him/her in any physical way.

I would give him/her advice on meeting a nice guy. And he/she would never think of even touching me but always wants me to find some happiness in life....why is that?

This Platonism works for the happiness of each. I would be profoundly unhappy if he/she tried to accost me or touch me, and Tuk does not like Westerners as a rule for he/she it is Japanese-only.

No these are no hairy fat biker he/she's for sure, but he/she has shown me them too, so I know they are out there looking for their very own kinky Thai biker in red leather chaps. You know the lucky guy/girl I mean with augmentation but without hormone treatment....

In Thai, the language makes distinctions between many classes of sexuality without passing any judgement. Interesting concept huh? There is also a sense that peers can joke about anything, even the most intimate things without being rude.

In Thai puchai is a man, puying is a woman, puli (katuey in slang) is a he/she; no negative connotation associated, though lots of laughter when using them interchangeably. For example, if you see a puying who you call puchai, and a puchai who acts like a puying and a puli with a hairy body from a Scandinavian country.

The idea being that your happiness does not depend on what I think, your happiness depends on what you are and what you think of yourself. Just like my happiness depends on me and what I think of myself.

There should be as much flexibility and humor in our relationships with others, as we have about ourselves. This is only possible once we adopt a more tolerant attitude where everyone's rights are respected as human beings, not as part of a sexual class, only then is real friendship possible even if it is between a normal guy and a katuey.

In the end, no matter what sex you are, or say you are, I may not trust you and tease you about it, but only because teasing is the other side of friendship and the natural childlike affection that people are meant to have between peers-we should all only get mature and stuffy and indignant when any of our rights are infringed. I promise you however I will never understand why Americans are so uptight about this issue unless someone out there explains it to me clearly. Is it a cultural tradition? Is it being Puritan?

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici...

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba...
