I'm one of those people who believes that being gay is a choice. I also believe it is a sin. I know there are people who are born with both sexual organs, and they are often confused as to what sex they should be when making the decision to remove one organ. However, THAT is something that is medically proven. Scientists have yet to adequately prove that people are born gay.

The sarcasm was present in my mock indignation. I thought that was obvious, but apparently not.

On the topic of scientific proof, there are some people for whom there will never be enough scientific proof, because of their fervent religious beliefs. I would venture to guess that you are one of those people.

On the issue of the army policy itself; there's still a chance that it will be examined by SCOTUS, but my assumption is that at least one other circuit will have to follow the 9th Circuit in its heightened scrutiny approach.

No it really was not sarcasm. I really don't remember.

In that case, yes, I'm a law student. Almost done, thankfully.

Yeah, but I'm sorry it's such a crappy job market. I was thinking today how awful it will be for folks graduating in almost any field.

Do you already have something lined up?

It is a nasty market out there. I'm probably going to be done in December, a semester early. I have a bunch of friends who either latched on with firms that shut down, or were summer associates at firms that had hiring freezes.

As far as my having a job...I really like what I'm doing now, but it's unclear at this point whether I'd have a job there after graduation. I've done pretty well in school and have some solid extracurriculars, so we'll see.
