I am: Robert A. Heinlein Beginning with technological action stories and progressing to epics with religious overtones, this take-no-prisoners writer racked up some huge sales numbers.

Which science fiction writer are you?

Please excuse me while I go rearrange my personality so I won't get this answer ever again.

who died and made us the master race?

What a lovely race we humans are: ( Retrial Set in Calif. Transgender Killing (i.e. Gwen Araujo) )

Particularly disgusting quote: Magidson's attorney ... acknowledged that Magidson played a role in the attack and said he was sorry for it. But he argued that it was "classic manslaughter," suggesting that the sudden discovery of Araujo's biological identity was a violation "so deep, it's almost primal."

I remember when we studied the "Homosexual Panic" defence in Crim in first year. Basically, the Criminal Code of Canada said that if you killed "in the heat of passion", you were guilty of manslaughter, not murder. Case law stated that the shock felt by a man finding his wife in bed with another man qualified as "heat of passion". So did the shock of a man whose wife made fun of the size of his penis (no, I'm not making that up) and a man who had to fend of an unwanted proposition by a gay man. And by unwanted proposition, they didn't mean sexual assault. They meant, Hey stranger, can I buy you a beer ::wink::

Of course, a woman fending off a date rapist usually didn't qualify for this defence. Neither did a woman killing her abusive husband.

Humans are lovely.

Anyway. Here's to the prosecutors for Gwen Araujo's murder. May they give her the justice she deserves.
