Before I step off my soapbox this morning, I want to complain about a certain individual who just got off for killing a teenage girl (former cheerleader) in a traffic accident. The accident was horrid and could only have happened if he was going over the speed limit and ran a red light. And yet, he's free as a bird while this girl's family suffers another devastating blow.

I don't think so.Katherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-69574930249347583862007-10-03T09:32:00.000-05:002007-10-03T09:32:00.000-05:00I'm concerned about the lengths the law will go to...I'm concerned about the lengths the law will go to invade people's privacy.

Still haven't quite figured that out, but then I'm not a lawyer.<BR/><BR/>I agree with everyone else. And Lynn, it wasn't that long ago that you couldn't buy beer here on Sundays, you had to cross the state line into Tennessee. :)<BR/><BR/>AngelAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-56087215338239736702007-10-03T08:30:00.000-05:002007-10-03T08:30:00.000-05:00Well, for me, that goes right up there with this n...Well, for me, that goes right up there with this near fanatical desire to end liquor sales in certain places. I chose to live where I did for many reasons, but believe me when I say that the idea I couldn't get a bottle of wine on Sunday figured high on my list of places I did NOT want to live. If I'm having a football party on Sunday and run out of beer, I don't want to have to drive to the next county to get it. And the places where they sell no alcohol at all, ever -- well, that just amazes me.<BR/><BR/>As for the sex toys, hubby and I drove past a store the other day that said "Baseball Cards and Guns". It was also a shooting range. I thought that was a strange combination of stuff. :)<BR/><BR/>So, basically, kids can learn to shoot as soon as they can walk, but good Lord don't let them see a vibrator. I've not regretted moving to Alabama for a second, but stuff like this makes me cringe. It's backwards and provincial.

Yet how else can one defined the equation of "human genital stimulation" with "obscenity?" <BR/><BR/>It is fair enough to demand sexuality be kept private, but to demand it also be kept paraphernalia free?!? I need to dig up a Bible and check Ecclesiastes again, because I'm pretty sure that whole "a time to every purpose under heaven" stuff didn't specify an exceptions for masturbation and kinky acts of love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-40069033299252655942007-10-03T08:15:00.000-05:002007-10-03T08:15:00.000-05:00Ah, but if you read the law correctly even online ...Ah, but if you read the law correctly even online retailers are subject to fines if they're discovered to have sold to an Alabama resident. Now how law enforcement agencies are going to figure that out (and why they would want to) is beyond me but...<BR/><BR/>I think the entire thing is very stupid. But when you get down to the legal issues involved it's more than stupid, it's scary. The legal system is trying to legislate what we do and don't do in the privacy of our homes. That's invasion of privacy. Something the law is supposed to protect not diminish. <BR/><BR/>InstigatorKira Sinclair - AKA Instigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274056066229852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-46856912181837794062007-10-03T07:45:00.000-05:002007-10-03T07:45:00.000-05:00This is just idiotic.
