There is only an issue here if we accept that what he wants to do is illegal.

I disagree with that, Chris. I realize that Neo has been diligently constraining his comments to legalities and that you are interested in legalities. I, however, have been more interested in whether Jewel's claim in forming the hypothetical that Mojo is noble in his pursuit or not, whether it is right and just and fair, or not. Whether it is a Good Thing or a Bad Thing for society. And what precedents might be set by accepting his approach.

The notion presented the other day of an interest group for old-time values was of interest to me but I guess speculation on how that might play out is off the table. If we grant conscientious objector status to the conscientiously chaste, does that imply that public beaches might need to provide separate sections for the bikini-averse? Or that the NFL should set up a team of two just for those who are averse to reporters in the locker rooms? Or sex-segregated hospitals?

Some of us find speculation interesting...
