Legislatures Gone Amok, Wacky laws

The Alabama state legislature has once again voted to outlaw the sale of devises used for sexual stimulation or gratification. And you wonder why Alabamastan is the butt of so many jokes [pun intended]?

Think this one through: Government has a monopoly on the use of force. Only government can use force to pursue its goals. Now the State of Alabama can use it's police power; i.e., use a GUN to prevent someone from selling or purchasing an item that can be used to sexually stimulate one's self. Nobody's rights are being violated by such a sale or purchase. Nobody is being denied their right to life, liberty or property through either force or fraud through the sale of a vibrator or other similar device. Nobody has to even know that one of these dangerous instruments is in the neighborhood. Yet and still, the State of Alabama can use force, deadly if need be, to prevent the sale or purchase of such an item, and can actually deprive a person of their liberty or property (jail time or a fine) if they sell or purchase one of these tools of Satan.

Free country, right? Tell that to Alabama.

Meanwhile, we have to wonder what the problem is with the men of Alabama. Most of the Alabama legislature is made up of men. Just who are they protecting here? It's a pretty sad state of affairs when the men folk have to get together and pass laws to keep their women from utilizing alternative methods for sexual gratification. What do you Alabama men need?

It is a sorry statement of my birth state Texas that a former teacher was arrested several months ago at a "tupperware party" for intimacy devices in a private home that was raided objects seized and she was arrested.

Darn! Another topic that Brother S and I agree on!

Better make it all three of us.

I can see it now. The hard working Alabama legislator comes home to his loving wife.

"Honey how was your day?"
"It was terrific. We passed a law making it illegal to buy or sell any device that can be used for sexual self-stimulation. I'm starved. What's for dinner?"
"Bread and water. And you'll have to fix it yourself. By the way, you're sleeping under the porch with the hounds. Don't let the door hit you in the a** on the way out, Senator.
