One poster to FunWithPSEs Yahoo group argues yes: "The big deal is that the people that make the rules in this country say this kind of activity goes against the laws of an invisible mythological deity that lives in the sky and watches over us. Which flies in the face of our forefather's original intentions to keep a defined chasm between church and state by passing laws that protect religious moralties instead of public saftey or health."



Oh my God, this made me burst out laughing. Moronic john crying about persecution, religious intolerance, etc... It reminded me of sitting on the couch--you know what I'm talking about--a few wisps still streaming out of the bong, 16 years old and damned certain that the gubbun'mint should get their fucking hands off my crops and go bust those dudes with the briefcases, man.

The fact is that a society can be defined--past, present, future--by the laws it makes restricting certain behavior it deems anti-social. Yes, perhaps someday, our looking askance at him paying the average yearly wage of a Sudanese herder to a 50% plastic/50% organic blond for entry into her vagina for an hour will seem ridiculous, and we'll look to future generations like witch-burners look to us. That's fucking life, Johnnie, get a goddamned helmet.
