Apple Urges Arizona Governor To Veto Anti-Gay Legislation 917
Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes "According to NBC, Apple has confirmed that it urged Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to veto a bill that would allow business owners with strongly held religious beliefs to deny service to gays and lesbians. Last November Tim Cook announced that Apple was building a sapphire glass plant in Mesa, AZ, that would bring 2,000 new jobs to the state. 'Apple is indisputably one of the world's most innovative companies and I'm thrilled to welcome them to Arizona,' said Gov. Brewer at the time. 'Apple will have an incredibly positive economic impact for Arizona and its decision to locate here speaks volumes about the friendly, pro-business climate we have been creating these past four years.' According to Philip Elmer-DeWitt, it sounds like Tim Cook may be having second thoughts about how 'friendly' and 'pro-business' the climate in Arizona really is."
Religion DOES serve a purpose. (Score:1, Funny)
Religion is for people too stupid to understand and/or process real-world information. You're not going to be able to convince these people if they choose not to see. Instead, it's best to understand religion, and apply psychology to convince people to do the right thing based on reasons that they can understand and relate to. Simple minds need simple reasons and simple explanations. Where none exist, make them up in a way such that the resulting actions are still positive.
