God Is God, Law Is Law, and Stupid is Stupid.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone.

The surprise is we haven’t seen this “solution” proposed more often as overtly.

Here is a lesson on how not to try to make intractable cultural traditions compatible with intractable reality under dubious moral imperatives.

But what this really shows is the limit of patience.  People hammer away at something that refuses to yield to the methods being employed and rather than change methods, eradicate the problem.

This sort of things make it so easy to be a cynic.

    Oh, and the guy that's putting the shine on this legislation is financially and politically supported by US fundy interests of "The Family."

    Y'know, the John Ensign, Stupak, and other fundy rightist memebrs of the US House and Senate living together in a condo on Capitol Hill.
