What do you call a Jewish Uber driver in Texas who takes women to
clinics, because an upstander accepts danger and difficulty?<br>
<br>
An Uber-mensch.<br>

Just now reading a biography of Thoreau and learning a little
more about<br>
the Transcendentalists and Utopians of that stripe makes me
realize that<br>
this was also the era of Abolitionism and the Fugitive Slave Law
which<br>
makes the TX Abortion shenanigans seem very tame. Discussions
about<br>
abolitionism often started with absurdisms such as trying to
decide<br>
*when* it was OK to "own another human being" without the
inverted<br>
perspective of "when is it ok, as a human being, to be owned"?<br>
<br>
I chatted with a good friend this week, in CA after Newsom was
absolved<br>
(or more to the point, Elder was rejected?) and he used the
phrase "now<br>
that Texas has legalized hunting women from helicopters" and I
nearly<br>
fell into NST's famed "Giggles" over the dark twistedness of it
all (not<br>
to mention the oblique Palin reference).<br>
<br>
I share Glen's multi-valence about being on the list being a
badge of<br>
honor, yet also having real consequences. I haven't seen any
stories<br>
coming out of TX yet where individuals (say an Uber driver) have<br>
deliberately provoked an Anti-Choicer by say... claiming on
social media<br>
that he/she had just driven a woman to an abortion clinic and
asking them to "bring it on". Can only ONE person bring a
lawsuit per<br>
incident? What is the modern day Gibson/Sterling/Stephenson
equivalent<br>
of Ambulance-Chasers??? Uber-stalkers I suppose?<br>

Is this different from doxxing nazis? It would be a badge of
honor to be on that list, I think. But their violence isn't
merely implied.<br>

noticed that there have been two massive cancellation

They also incidentally brought up recent research on trigger
warnings, a crowd sourced clinical intervention for PTSD
dating to the 1970's and a long time tough-guy bug-a-boo. <br>
