31. I find it so interesting that you can say things like this
But if anyone were to say anything as disgusting as what you've written, particularly that naming a hate crime law after a gay man was "an insult," as you've just done about a black man, you'd be filling up ATA more than usual with your complaints and screams for public bannings.

The law you've just disparaged is known much more commonly as the Matthew Sheppard Act. So in fact, it is named after a gay person. And that's okay with me because at the end of the day, ANY legislation that helps mitigates hate crimes is okay with me. They could have named it the George Wallace Hate Crimes Prevention Act. I don't think most people that are on the receiving end of these acts would care that much.

Now I remember why I ignored your initial response to me.
