Hmm.. that is interesting, I don't know how Libertarians would view
that. I never thought that the first part was bad. I will have the great
Larry P. on that one... I think the market would support any person with
funds to pay, regardless of that, or the ability to work.

Well, I also find homosexuality distasteful, a sin in the sight of God
(We have been over this in debate before) as I believe and read in the
bible, but I don't care what you do in your bedroom, wherever you find
love, as long as you get special privileges for it. I also will never
consider it normal behavior. Alas, that is another debate. If IBM thinks
they can find a market for that, good for them. I now some people won't
want to support them for that same reason. I don't know what being more
friendly to gays means, however.
