- That's a point that legal scholars have been bouncing back and forth for
- decades. Does "equal protection under law" mean that laws must be
- created to specifically protect each and every group? I'm left-handed,

- Don't get me wrong - I think that most bigots are, basically, stupid
- people. But I'm not convinced that passing more laws regulating people's
- lives is the solution.
