<p>To ME any senseless death is a tragedy, but I disagree with the hate crime legislation. Yesterday two people in our town shot and killed 4 people simply for driving by their house. Apparently they just decided to shoot at the next two cars. Two of the four dead were children. By giving some ‘protected groups’ special rights I believe you are cheapening the tragic deaths of these innocent children. All men are created equal, right?</p>

on making trangendered patients more comfortable. It was very enthusiastically received.
Thank goodness, many parts of the world are changing for the better.</p>
