Because caring about these two issues are mutually exclusive. Are you fucking kidding me?

Oh, fuck you. I'm just saying I had this visceral irritation to hearing there was a session planned to discuss this tragedy, and here's why.

I dunno -- I guess I hate this kind of argument. "How can you care about puppy mills when children are dying of malaria!" It's a false choice and illogical and it pisses me off, as the argument is generally deployed to belittle the first item ("How can you care about X?") in the formulation and those who care about it.

I think something like 5 gay teens have killed themselves in the past 3 weeks in at least partial response to bullying.
