Politics is quickly turning into something akin to petty, juvenile school yard squabbling only, instead of getting detention, you lose your job and professional standing, apparently relegated to the bread line if you're on the wrong side of the squabble. While our government watches on, seemingly in agreement with that given their silence on these issues. A silly topic if it weren't so serious. After all, that writer is now out of work and in todays political and social climate, he'll no doubt have a hard time finding an employer in that line of work. The story of humanity is one of advancement through appropriation and adaptation. It should be celebrated, not nitpicked to death.
