> Also, I think estimates of homosexuality at 10% are ridiculously high. If they were that high a percentage of the population, homosexuals would be a big enough voting block that we wouldn't be having these debates about what rights homosexuals should have.

This argument doesn't seem to hold water when we consider only a generation or three before it was women who had to fight for many rights. It only makes sense that when a group as large as women get to have their grievances addressed by democratic systems that smaller groups might after a generation or three.

None of this is as subjective as you are pretending. The arch of history points to libertarian outcomes that raise up those that produce the most value in the eyes of others.... and diminish over time those that sit ensconced on the left pontificating, rent seeking, and organizing mobs for their own edification.

Most of the teachers will be fired (Khan Academy), and the public employees will be de-unionized...

And if I'm right about these trends.... this will no longer be a valid discussion. We will see there was only one answer.

To be clear: Value is judged exclusively by money / time, which represents how much of your hour / time is worth how much of someone else's hour time.

So, sure people on the left seek to diminish those who create the most value measured in dollars / time, they'll argue against property rights, they'll fight and kick and scream.... but they are cooked.

The sad thing is it took "spending all the money" to force them into submission.
