Here's an equivalence:
Civil liberties = Civil liberties.
One day, they take theirs. The next, they take yours. #Ebola
— Ron Fournier (@ron_fournier) October 26, 2014Love ya, Ron. But that's something more akin to a Glenn Beck response than one a diligent (mostly) centrist would say. Absolutism is the fodder of extremists.
Trying to say that the forced internment of over 100k people, merely due to their ancestory, for an indeterminate length of time, is even slightly comparable to the forced quarantine, during a medical crisis, for a period of time of a handful of weeks, of a handful due to who they were exposed-- is nutty.
"One day they'll take yours," for a month, with it having nothing to do with who you are. Not comparable. It's really odd that you think it is.

By and large I am going to rely on Twitter to be the 'comments' section here. You can submit comments, but moderation is enabled, and nearly all of the time I am not even going to check the moderation queue (although in some circumstances, I just might).
