And 2) I'll have the same argument with you I have had with other fundamentalist evangelicals that lead and participate in boycotts. Assume that your boycott has some negative effect, and that the counter boycott by Prop 8 supporters doesn't more than make up for the lost business.

When Jimmy the hotel maintenance guy loses his job in the initial round of cutbacks as business levels drop, what do you say to his daughter when they lose their home and have to move leaving all of her friends behind? Do you explain that her pain is just roadkill on your ideological highway? Do you try to pretend that it is all really the OWNERS fault even though he is the guy that built the business in the first place and paid Daddy's check until recently?

Or do you choose to realize that boycotts (like unwise and ill executed invasions of foreign countries) always hurt the innocent first?

Now that is art dammit.

It was so visually arresting when I first saw it that I immediately downloaded it as my background so that I could see it more often.

Do you have it in any higher resolution? (I have the 1280x912 resolution from Flickr)

I love it, it looks like one of those shots of Beruit from the late 80s.

Intense debate seems to take a long time to load
