I'm always polite.  Politeness costs nothing.

False. It costs a hell of a lot when dealing with people who are insulting you.

why are prison officials forcing a (especially well known) prisoner to cut her hair? if it's a disciplinary method the prison employs against other women, and manning has been an ass, then OK. otherwise.. seems like a legit concern.

(edit) unless federal prisons aren't required to treat transsexuals any differently than their birth gender. then it's more about changing laws than anything this prison did. that's actually probably the case.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
