"This is the kind of sick crap that when argued for by liberals just moves people in mass to the right and to republicans!" Given the recent scandals, mostly by republicans, this is a very funny statement.

um It may be strange behavior, but my point is, who cares? I mean, when I make a law about something, I'd want it to be something that matters. Not that anyone is championing animal sex or necrophilia- not even me- I have zero interest in those things and think they are kind of odd pursuits, but the point is, if you are willing to kill animals, and often butcher them alive in production line "errors", it just seems illogical to get upset about bestiality, and to make it illegal. I realize it's some sort of moral shibboleth, but it makes no logical sense to me to make laws about moral shibboleths. Rail about them in church, get up on a box in the park and complain, but leave the law out of it. I guess I'm just a libertarian about most behavior- when it really doesn't affect the rest of us- but for the "eeeeew" factor. And I really don't think the police ought to be running around policing an "eeeeew" factor.
