Stupid is as stupid does

In the flood of actual real news over the past few months, I'd forgotten about the lawsuit that tried to force straights-only dating website eHarmony to start making matches for homosexuals. Seems it finally went through and now eHarmony will start catering to queers.

Can everyone who files these stupid, counterproductive and frankly stupid lawsuits please knock it off? If you're smart enough to get an internet connection and open a web browser, you should be smart enough to find a dating service that caters to your desires, no matter how wild, or mild, they may be. Or you'd think. The guy who filed the suit turns out to be a computer programmer, Eric McKinley: "It’s a great victory ... .I tried to use their Web site, and you simply cannot. You only have two options: a man seeking a woman or a woman seeking a man. I’m a man seeking a man, and obviously I can’t force it to change its interface."

So instead of a quick Google search, the computer programmer feels the itch of outrage at not having every personal, selfish desire kowtowed to, files a lawsuit and now we end up with:

-- a company, eHarmony, putting out a half-assed product that's just going to waste everyone's time, because they don't want to do it, and any queer with half a brain wouldn't want to use it;

-- a legal reinforcement of the idea that some homosexuals want to force themselves into every nook and cranny of American private lives, no matter how welcome, or not, we may be; and,

-- the ruining of a perfectly good ad campaign for Chemistry.com.

This is why I become more scarily libertarian every day.

Good point, seperate is seldom equal.
