A Kentucky county clerk who has become a symbol of religious opposition to same-sex marriage was jailed after defying a federal court order to issue licenses to gay couples.

She was ordered detained for contempt of court and later rejected a proposal to allow her deputies to process same-sex marriage licenses that could have prompted her release.

Instead, on a day when one of Ms. Davis’s lawyers said she would not retreat from or modify her stand, Judge David L. Bunning of United States District Court secured commitments from five of Ms. Davis’s deputies to begin providing the licenses. At least two couples planned to seek marriage licenses.

“The court cannot condone the willful disobedience of its lawfully issued order,” Judge Bunning said. “If you give people the opportunity to choose which orders they follow, that’s what potentially causes problems.”

Is that really religious opposition?  If this was mother Teresa may be.       Just a thought.

Thinking outside the Box is a metaphor that means to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel or creative thinking.

The term is thought to derive from management consultants in the 1970s and 1980s challenging their clients to solve the "nine dots" puzzle, whose solution requires some lateral thinking.^[5]

This phrase can also be found commonly in dance, as encouragement to move creatively, beyond simple, geometric box steps and their basic variations, to literally step outside the box into more complex patterns of expression.

DACA is an American immigration policy founded by the Obama administration in June 2012. It allows certain illegal immigrants who entered the country as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation, eligibility for a work permit. and other benefits.

The policy was seen as a way to remove immigration enforcement attention from "low priority" individuals with good behavior.^[1]

In August 2012, the Pew Research Center estimated that up to 1.7 million people might be eligible.^[3]

President Barack Obama announced the policy with a speech in the Rose Garden of the White House on 15 June 2012,^[21] a date chosen as the 30th anniversary of Plyler v. Doe, a Supreme Court decision barring public schools from charging illegal immigrant children tuition. Republican Party leaders denounced the program as an abuse of executive power.

Is the benefits given to DACA far better than US' kids?

So it came as no surprise when Trump declared that he would refuse his $400,000 yearly salary as president. Upon learning that he was constitutionally required to accept the money, he amended his statement, saying via a spokeswoman that he would accept $1 and either give the rest back to the U.S. Treasury or donate it to charity.  Just a thought.

Adjust...

It's hardly news to point out that men are more concerned about their bodies than ever before, but the fear of visibly aging is no longer limited to women, if it ever was.

The "sexual invisibility" felt by many older men is really about becoming less attractive to young women.   "Young women look at me and they see someone who looks like their Dad,"

Most 40-something women just like to turn the heads of guys their own age. Not so for their male peers, many of whom are busy chasing substantially younger women.

Why so few men are interested in dating women their own age.  OKCupid data indicates that women are much more interested in dating guys their own age. In the effort to prove that they can still attract younger women, middle-aged men are the ones who are rendering their peers "sexually invisible."

The reasons older men chase younger women have less to do with sex and everything to do with a profound desire to reassure ourselves that we've still got "it." "It" isn't just physical attractiveness; "it" is the whole masculine package of youth, vitality, and, above all else, possibility.

It's not that women our own age are less attractive, it's that they lack the culturally-based power to reassure our fragile, aging egos that we are still hot and hip and filled with potential.

Can we all adjust?  Just a thought.
