The fact you didn't understand my point doesn't surprise me at all.
The fact that you didn't respond to mine doesn't surprise me, either.
Well, the sodomy laws in Texas and the one in Virginia were passed in the Reagan administration as a response to AIDS. The laws are currently being enforced in Texas, I know the Virginia law was enforced about 10 years ago on a married couple who weren't vigilant enough in closing their drapes.
The Texas sodomy law has been on the books for many, many years. However, in its current form, it was signed into law by liberal Democrat Ann Richards, in 1992 or '93. So I'm not sure who you're pissed at on this one.
The point is that the sodomy laws are applied infrequently, reserved for the most unusual of circumstances. And while no one really feels compelled to outlaw homosexuality, there are times when homosexual behavior is so "in-your-face" that we do need to maintain some reasonable control over it. (I was unfortunate enough to be in New Orleans over Labor Day, when some 50,000 homos crowd into the French Quarter and act like idiots; I wouldn't have missed it for the world, but I plan to skip it next year).
Everything fits together in only one way in your little black/white world....
I suspect I forgot more about dealing with gray areas than you ever knew. And I can tell you this: The best way of dealing with gray area is to have a well-defined gulf between black and white. As I've pointed out here before, the liberals' failure to establish black-and-white, right-and-wrong, absolute, unwavering positions is what created the monster. |
