Minor thing: I get the point about expecting everyone to embrace changing their values, but w.r.t. to gay wedding cakes, public accommodations shouldn't, and legally can't, discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation

Canceled both my WaPo and Amazon Prime subscriptions. Maybe I'll write an email to Jeff too. I judge newspapers by their straight news, not the opinions/columns/editorials, but obeying-in-advance like this is too much
