Fox news front page reads

AP
U.S. threatens to cut off nearly $500 million in financial aid to Palestinians if they seek statehood, pushing instead for negotiations between Israel and Palestinians leading to a two-state solution.

Can you figure out the contradiction here?

If you said that punishing Palestinians for seeking statehood in exchange for negotiations for statehood you would be correct.

Can't we just admit the easy answer for now is:

1. Grant Palestine state-hood.
2. Give it territory that is definitely Palestinian’s.
3. Let the issue of contested borders work itself out like it does across the rest of the world.

Again I apologize for the briefness of the diary.

This is a short diary.

Could there be a simpler fix for marriage equality in this country with out the court system. Having to deal with propositions and right wingers trying to pass constitutional amendments against gay marriage?

I think there is. It's so simple most people look right over it like it's not even there. The solution is to get government out of the business of marriage entirely. Sure it might be alot of work to unentagle it from the rest of law but I believe if Microsoft managed to unentangle Internet Explorer from it's heavily integrated Windows software then i think the government can do so same.

We would practically be abolishing the family court system. We would free up judges who would be wasting time marrying and divorsing people and enforcing alimony payments to actually handle real cases worth the courts time.

People would benefit in that they wouldn't have to go to court just to break up.

What would be left of marriage you might wonder? It would still be a human tradition practiced in the religous places of the cults the people follow. Exactly where it should have been.

So you might think that we have weathered the storm of foreclosures and now just need to wait for the recovery act and the economy to heal itself. After all, we hit bottom in this mess, right? The only looming economic disaster is a debt problem that the right keeps shouting about. Think again! We're not even fully halfway through this disaster.
