Questions
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

---
--Should a gay bar be allowed to exclude straights? Is this even a problem? ("To regard the gay male patrons of the venue as providing an entertainment or spectacle to be stared at, as one would at an animal at a zoo, devalues and dehumanises them.") (Via Fark.)

--A guest question:
Why would any intelligent person choose a profession where income is guaranteed to fall 30% over the next five years, where your every action is second-guessed by government or health plans, where malpractice suits are a constant worry, and where you are blamed at every turn for the exorbitant cost of care?
(Via Kevin, M.D.)

--Speaking of individual choice, why are so many commenters to this DailyKos post oh-so-relieved to learn that John Edwards "only" favors compulsory national service — but not a military draft? What exactly would cause someone to think that there's any substantive difference between the two?

--Safety warnings for toilet paper rollers? (Via Fark.)

--Compulsory veganism? (Via Arkanssouri.)
