>>>Are you saying you believe adding the topic of removing these unconstitutional parts of the law would stall, or even log jam that debate to the point of failure?

That was exactly what Rick Jones said when I quoted him above:
"The minute I cross that line and I start talking about the other stuff, I won’t even get another hearing. It’ll be done....
Nobody wants to touch it. I would rather not even bring up the topic, because I know what would happen. You’d get both sides screaming and you end up with a big fight that’s not needed because it’s unconstitutional."

>>> Removing unconstitutional laws that are designed to target 'undesirable' portions of the population is not pointless.
Ok, "pointless" is the wrong word. "Futile" would be more accurate.

>>> IANAL?
I Am Not A Lawyer. Sorry, thought that was a commonly know acronym.

>>> I can't imagine anyone publicly supporting it, so there should be no debate, it should simply be easily adopted in 2 minutes.
Really? You can't imagine a politician supporting an anti-sodomy law? In a country where Rick fucking Santorum was considered a potential presidential candidate for one of the two main parties?
'cos I can imagine it pretty easily.
Reasonable human: "we'd like to stop animal abuse and get rid of this ridiculous puritanical law at the same time"
The likes of bobknight "RARRRG!! assault on family values, persecution of christians, fganogle..... GAAAAWWWWWWD" (while drooling)

>>> How's 1 year ago? Recent enough?
Jesus, that's depressing. At least, the case was thrown out, and on the plus side, having a ruling against the law sets a precedent.

Look, I agree that the law is ridiculous, and as I said, it's kind of shocking to think this attitude still exists in a supposedly educated, enlightened country. In a perfect world, laws like this would never have existed. Hell, in a fucking semi-sane, reasonable world, they'd have been wiped at least a decade ago when the supreme court declared them unconstitutional.

But right now, US politics is not even close to sane or reasonable. If it was, you could have an actual election between a centre right candidate (Hillary) and a democratic socialist (Sanders), instead of the current clusterfuck of having Hillary or god only knows what on the fucking looney tunes side.

So while the idealist side of me says that every single law like this should be fought tooth and nail, the pragmatic side of me says that until the US political system hacks its way out of the tentacles of the religious right, some ugly compromises are unavoidable.

Given that this doesn't actually make the situation worse (remember this law already existed), it's just a question of picking your battles.

Looks like a Sydney ferry, so *downunder.

That boat was not under control at all. The jib is starting to rip and god only knows why they had the spinnaker pole attached.

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you
(God only knows what I'd be without you)

I don't know how much good it will do them to condense the *books into less seasons, because god only knows how long it's going to be before The Winds of Winter is released.

yeah nowadays liability laws would prevent discharge of a firearm in such a heavy residential neighborhood, especially by an OFF DUTY cop who, what, just happened to wander by with his 12-guage? god only knows where all the ricocheting pellets ended up.

Whatever it is that's going on in Iran, I'm twisted in knots about it. Part of this makes me tearful with hope; when I see hundreds of thousands of students taking to the streets and protesting, I can't help but feel good about seeing a peaceful demonstration being successfully carried off.

So far there has indeed been violence, but most of it is the usual kind of shit that happens when riot police do a stormtrooper imitation -- people get beaten, but not killed.

There have been videos showing a lone policeman firing his weapon into the crowd, and at least one or two reports of people dying, but so far nothing really horrific has happened as far as we know.

God only knows if there's any chance of this making a serious change in the country, but for now I'm both filled with this pernicious hope, and a terrible fear that this will turn very ugly any minute now.

There's some sort of parable or wise aphorism in this. God only knows what it is.

You are most welcome, and thanks for your promote too.

Why does it take some great songs two, three, or more promotes to to make it? (Rhetorical question. God only knows.)
