Hey folks, 

A summary-

Pramas- Maybe center?

Feifer- Against centering

I'm on the fence about Jason's article, only because
it's a bit short and it kinda toots the ole MGA RAFFE
horn a little exclusively without a whole ton of
information to back up doing so, maybe rightly so tho
I don't know.  (no offense J- of course, by the way,
shift+option+hyphen makes those cool extra long dashes
like this: —dashing— )

And then Feifer's article about Transgender folks, OK,
with you there Bry, winning concessions at Raytheon,
whoa Bry, WTF?  

The main point against the Raytheon article would be
that from the standpoint of our readers— They couldn't
give two shits about an employee of Raytheon, and I'm
tempted to agree with them.  

It also looks poorly on an activist site to be
supporting what seems like a luxury, protection
against sexual pref. discrimination, when you consider
Raytheon's weapons systems are blowing people inot
little pieces all over the world.  

Most of our readers are all for transgender rights,
including me, but if their using those rights to be
able to build weapons that kill- I think most of our
readers would say- "fuck em."  

-Pete
