Perhaps now that states have the right to control what we do in the
bedroom (or wherever your favorite recreational area may be) we may see
notes in job postings indicating what sodemy laws are in effect. I can
see it all now:

  "East Armpit has a theater which shows films both Friday and Saturday
night, has professional wrestling every month live, and has a good book
rack at the drugstore for the literary types. There are no state,
county, or local sodemy laws. Equal opportunity employes m/f/h/q/p/t"

  Or in other parts of the country laws prohibiting unmarried persons
from sharing lodging might be passed, or laws on what positions may be
used, limiting not only what touches what, but how. "You got a bad back,
kid? Tough! We saw her on top, that's a felony in this town, pervert!"

  With the middle of the country passing sodomy and pornography laws,
and the coasts (NY, CA, etc) passing laws against homosexual
persecution and discrimination, the next civil war may be the middle
against the coasts. I hope I'm kidding, but the liberals are willing to
let people practice chastity, while the fundamentalists (at least the
most visible kind) seem to justify violence because it's "God's will".
Where else do arsonists who burn planned parenthood offices (not
clinics, offices) regard themselves as the "good guys".

  If you consider that Lebanon was a modern country with a stable
economy only 30 years ago, can someone please convince me that issues
of religion can't tear apart a modern country?

  I think that with the new Supreme Court this is not going to be the
land of the free anymore, I hope I'm wrong.
