- Libertarian Michael A. LaFerrara has occasionally seemed reticent about slavery and the birth of our country. I thought his latest, a celebration of Monday’s celebration of Juneteenth was more of the same. You may be familiar with the routine:
Slavery was an evil institution that we inherited, but abolished because it violated our deeply held national principles that we held dear from the very beginning.
And this piece does begin just that way.
He regrets, as all humanity should, that it took so long for freedom to become universal and our ideals to be firmly established.
Then he ends with this pure revealed truth:
But it did, finally erasing America’s most glaring birth defect.
erasing? Really?
Well… Perhaps close enough to provide some hope for those of us who pray for redemption for us all.
We've been married, living here in MO for 22 years.
If we had met and gotten married here when we were teens:
1) Our marriage would have been nullified under Missouri Criminal Code Section 563.240
2) We would have been prosecuted and put into prison cells for 2 years each

- At times, we are all astonishingly inept, some of us more than others, when confronted by tragedy. Sometimes it is because of an agenda that excuses or minimizes horror. Sometimes it is because we caught emotionally flatfooted.
People often have no idea how to react when unspeakable tragedy strikes another.
We hustled a co-worker away when he tried to comfort a young woman with
"Miscarriage is nature's way of correcting her mistakes"Paxton may just have awkwardly morphed into that co-worker.
