Wilsonville meets Cabela's, Shoots self in foot...

It's not often I'll visit or link to Victoria Taft's little blog. Similar to Michelle Malkin, it's a depressing case of someone being socially skilled, delightful, and a good conversationalist until you stumble across the one issue where they just go batshit nuts, acting and advocating at complete variance with the rest of their delightful personality.

This isn't so bad when its on some generally unobjectionable topic, like spiders or snakes. Or mice. Or multi-legged critters. One can simply shrug, acknowledge the irrational response from a normally rational person, and move on - and if generously inclined, help peel the phobic off the ceiling.

The laissez-faire live'n'let live thing stretches a little thin in these parts though when the irrationality involves designating a group of folks as somehow unworthy of human rights or equality before the law, and when that group is the LGBT community...it makes it harder to play nice.

That said, a link took me over to Victoria's blog and I found an interesting post - seems the City of Wilsonville and their 10% unemployment rate are just *too good* for Cabela's. It would encourage folks to drive there from Portland and spend money and cause folks to be employed in a morally wrong kinda retail and accept minimum wage rather'n live on unemployment or welfare....
