Expect to start seeing a lot more cases like this (which I wrote about before here and here) where, in the name of hallowed political correctness, diversity, and tolerance, people are forced through coercive legal means to either change professions or violate their conscience. Kudos to Jake Phillips for not violating his conscience even at the cost of some of his business (by no longer baking wedding cakes). May we all have that kind of resolve in the face of the Thought Police.

Unlike my ancient predecessor, this Tullius hasn't had his hands chopped off. With hands attached I offer my thoughts on philosophy, religion, politics, and whatever else I find worth mentioning. I'm conservative religiously and politically (with libertarian leanings). I value reason and freedom but also traditions and "Oldthink." I relish being on the wrong side of history when history is wrong--part of a philosopher's job is to be unpopular. (Views given here may not represent my employers')
How about a link to the story? Or are we supposed to take your word for it?!?!?
ReplyDeleteDear Monash,
ReplyDeleteWell, there IS the link connected to the first "this." Shall I holdest thine hand whilst thou clickest on it?
