Now taking to the next level, what do we do with transgenders

"We" don't do anything, it's for the Boy Scouts to decide.

...and pay the consequences, either way.

Though watch, they will now be forced to allow queer adult
leadership.

Do you mean "forced" by their democratic membership who voted
61% in
favour of it? Yeah, in that case I suppose you're correct.

I'm sure you're too stupid to have heard of "pressure groups".
Idiot.

Like me, a straight, male Eagle Scout? Like that?

I'm sure you think a lot of yourself but you're really dumber than
a
stump, like all lefties. Idiot!

Interesting, then, that I can follow a discussion and contribute to
it
while you can't.

Lies are *not* contributions, Dumb****, anymore that taxes are
investment.

Taxes may be used to make investments. Capital investments exist in
both
the public and private sector.

Taxes *IMPEDE* investments. For *every* dime the government spends on
such things the private sector cannot spend two. You really are a
dumb****.

Best example to the contrary: the interstate system, built
by the state using tax funds.

Anyone with any knowledge of history knows the Eisenhower Interstate
Highway system was a defense project.

Nonsense. It was a civil works project to improve travel infrastructure.

It was both
They are NOT mutually exclusive

It *WAS* a defense project. It's economic benefits were a secondary
consideration.

It was called that to keep the idiots like Taft from messing it up.

Just look at another military funded project that is in common PUBLIC use
today
The Internet

Excellent simile.

Just look al all the spin-off that came from Kennedy's "going to the moon"

Less direct but also to the point.

What people like you don't grasp is that the indirect benefits of such
projects are otten greater than the original purpose.

Usually by accident. Central planning just simply doesn't work.

The *only* thing government can
do reasonably well are things the private sector simply can't. Most
it fails at miserably or costs *way* too much. It's a natural law.

Why do reactionaries keep telling each other that. It is not true.

So when are you going to stop being a stupid reactionary ?
We're all waiting for it to happen.

I'm certainly under no delusion lefties will ever learn anything.

You have made it clear that you will never learn enough to be in the
position to critique what others know.
