I usually support gun control, since I was brought up in a city and my grandfather, a cop, wouldn't allow guns in the house for fear of children getting hold of them...
But I know from bitter experience that when there is no law and order, having a gun is the only thing that stands between you and being dead.

and ironically, the left leaning Inquirer editorial notes love was always associated with solidarity and family, but now the word has been degraded into personal feeling.
Nowhere perhaps is love’s ancient association with human solidarity more eloquently expressed than in the famous biblical passage from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”-------------------------------------------------

Radical feminist supports female genital mutilation.
and again, Ann Althouse blasts the lack of logic
I should note: There are three types, (only one type is harmless to future childbearing and sexual pleasure) and it long predates Islam, and the more radical practice continues even though the prophet tried to discourage the more extreme version...
