AI Thread Summary
Oregon has officially recognized domestic partnerships, granting legal status to gay unions. This change follows a significant shift in political power away from Republicans, influenced by public dissatisfaction with the Bush administration and Republican congressional control. The discussion highlights the irony for right-wing supporters of conservative agendas, suggesting that electing Democrats may be necessary to uphold their values, particularly regarding issues like banning gay marriage. The tone conveys a sense of amusement at the challenges this presents for conservative groups such as the Moral Majority.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
