Aside from the random moment of can't-help-it snark, I try to think through my comments on DK carefully--there are an awful lot of smart and articulate people hanging out here, and I'd prefer to be thought of as one of them. So I haven't commented on any of the diaries regarding SOPA, being rather uncertain where I stood on the issue. And, with most big things--property rights, crime and punishment, how we treat each other--I think that thinking things through is a smart place to start.

But I digress.

The un-digression is below the curlicue thingy. That's the technical term, right?

As with most issues, there are about eighty sides--many of them well-reasoned--to take on this issue. I think. About all I know for certain is that I find it troubling. The issue is jobs. Or, more specifically, jobs at any cost.

When I saw the citation to this article, I had to dig a bit just to see if it was real (by dig, I mean find the HB number, enter it into the Florida House of Representatives website and read). The bill, Florida HB 4063, suggests repealing a section of the ABT laws that prohibits, and I quote from the header to 4063, "beverage licensees maintaining, owning, or operating certain commercial establishments from allowing exploitation of persons with dwarfism."

Is it really all about the jobs?
