Wrong. :p
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I know that. I also know how it failed miserably.
At least they didn't ban the word "give" like the town in the novel...

Very wise, for they're going to need it to formally state that they're going to have to give up their unrealistic dreams.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

That's standard right-wing libertarianism. There's nothing centrist about it. If you want to call something centrist libertarianism, it should be Mutualism


Mutualist here. Not really a "centrist". More of an anti-authoritarian, individualist, radical leftist.

The Free State Project has actually had some success on the micro level.

But literally any small state in the US would be easy. It just requires the initial effort of getting libertarians off their computers and to go outside.

Eh, alright, I thought the "individualist" part made it something in between capitalism and communism, but I guess that wasn't really accurate. Still, capitalism as it exists today is by no means "centrist libertarian".
