This is some crazyness Emily Yoffe experienced http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2014/12/college_rape_campus_sexual_assault_is_a_serious_problem_but_the_efforts.html quote:It’s a surprisingly loaded subject, given the widely acknowledged prevalence of drinking on American campuses. Last year, I wrote about drinking and sexual assault in a Slate piece titled, “College Women: Stop Getting Drunk.” I said that binge drinking was bad for everyone but that it presented a particular danger for young women because it made them more vulnerable to sexual assault—I described sober predators who specifically targeted intoxicated women. I was widely denounced for “victim-blaming.” This year, I was disinvited to speak at a West Coast college after board members of a student organization that had invited me decided my presence would make student victims “feel unsafe.”

Do people want to debate and discuss or is the left stuck in insular groups and who laugh, point, and get offended. Look at the front page of D&D. "Right Wing Media: Rachel Maddow for Republicans" "Got a crazy forwarded political email from your family? Post them here." "Freepers: Party on, Marxist dogs!" "The Best (Worst) Of Conservapedia" It isn't an attempt to engage, it is mocking/degrading. No attempt to find common ground or expand worldviews. It is a bit like bullying it makes you feel strong, but doesn't make your stronger

The Right (which is nebulous as you have social conservatives and libertarians in the same grouping) is reasonable about the Keystone Pipeline Radley Balko http://www.washingtonpost.com/people/radley-balko is right about ways to limit police abuse and brutality Reason is right on a lot of the asset forfeiture stuff. Not sure if Tyler Cowen is right in Average is Over, but his ideas are worth thinking about http://marginalrevolution.com/

I am not suggesting we take those sites seriously, I am saying that picking the smallest retard on the playground pointing and laughing at them might make you feel big, but doesn't make you big.
