   “Hook noses”? Shame on you, Iosephus, this thing is knee-jerk reactionary trash.

   I second that pronouncement. The “rather good” list is fine enough, but did you even look at the “insidious” list? Women’s suffrage? Hook noses (!)? HUMAN RIGHTS?

   Matt is right, that’s absolute trash, and there is absolutely nothing insidious about half of the things to which they say they’re opposed (even vegetarianism).

   I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that there were people reading this blog who were not opposed to women’s suffrage, human rights, and vegetarianism.

   At any rate, the group isn’t my foundation - just passing it along. Send all your strong feelings and human rights loving comments to the email address on the poster. :)

   Why is it that most of the people who comment on this blog have no sense of humor whatsoever?

   How does one increase the document so as actually to be capable of reading it?

   Just click on it, and then it will appear in a new column, by itself, and then click on it again.

   Darn, that won’t work on this stupid library laptop.

   Sense of humor?

   What good has women’s suffrage brought about?

   You realize there would be no right to abortion without women’s suffrage.

   So, whatever good you come up with, balance that against 100 million plus souls killed through chemical or surgical abortion in the USA alone.

   As far as human rights go, the term is a wholly owned subsidiary of international communism.

    JSP… but “hook noses”?

    How is that not anti-semitism?

    I personally have no problem with hook nosed Catholics.

    The poster does not say that its creators dislike hook-nosed people; only the hook noses themselves. The hook nose is such a repulsive facial feature, after all.

    Yet, couldn’t one make the case that that nasal refernce is a synecdoche gone awry?

    the book of common prayers is gay in my opinion.
