i'm all with laws regarding felonious crimes like murder and such--but when the courts are tied up with discussing whether sex toys should be legal--well, call me crazy, but i think that's just ridiculous. what two consenting adults choose to do in the privacy of their home should be their own business.

If I were to ask these questions to the Derby Trail crew: Have you ever shoplifted? Have you ever used illegal drugs? Have you ever had sex with anyone besides your current spouse, or with your spouse before you were married? Which do you think would get the highest response of "yes" (assuming everyone would answer honestly)? And if I were to ask our lawmakers, what do you think would have the most (assuming honest) "yes"es? And what percentage do you think it would be? I can think of only one DT member whom I might think would be able to honestly answer "no" to the third question (put your hand down, Kev; we all know it's not you. ![]() So the current incarnation of the Republican party seems bound and determined to push a course of personal behavior (no sex outside of marriage) that 90 percent percent of the population doesn't adhere to and has never adhered to- see article below: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16287113/ And my point is, not only do they again and again look ridiculous doing it (remember how, in the wake of the Clinton BJ impeachment, Larry Flynt offered money to any woman who had proof of an affair with a current Republican congressman and the first one brought down was the Speaker?) but by denying appropriate sex-ed to kids in our public schools, they are sending these same kids out into the world as sexually ignorant adults. I mean, the kids will figure out what goes where- that's instinct- but I don't think instinct will tell them how to protect themselves when and if they decide to have sex. And eventually, most people are going to have sex. In my many acquaintances, I know of one confirmed virgin. Just one. My point is, people are going to have sex and having unprotected sex carries the possibility of killing you, depending on with whom you have it. So, you have a risky behavior that most of the population will eventually do. Seems to me the reasonable response is to educate thoroughly and completely about said behavior, not to tell kids it's a behavior they should not indulge in until marriage and leave it at that. Especially when the people spouting that kind of claptrap can't follow the advice themselves. Yes, hypocrisies can be found in all people, of any political stripe, or even of none whatsoever- we're all human and fallible. But this level of overt deception on an almost universal behavior goes a bit beyond the pale. It's dangerous and irresponsible. Makes for vastly entertaining weekend reading (note how the Bush camp always releases bad news on a Friday evening when reporters have gone home?) but does the American people no favors. Apologies for assuming you're a 'Publican- you leap to defend their positions so often I got confused. Though I think the excellent "petard/******" bon mot of some months ago was yours so how could I have forgotten? ![]()

I guess it's a big thing. The best part of the season for Lions fans is every minute until the end of week one I suppose. You guys get what, like four or five months a year of not having a losing record yet? ![]() |

![]() And here she is- Malkin with her mixed-up fetishes. And misquoted Reid, while she's at it, but hey, whatever.
http://wonkette.com/politics/michell...eck-255240.php I'm now fully convinced she's secretly working for the Dems.
