- Which is why hate, fear, and its eternal companion, coercion, will always be
- with us.
-
- And it will remain so until the majority of people on this planet can
- live and let live -- that a persons hate and fear of something that
- somebody else does STOPS being translated into coercion -- the "there oughta'
- be a law" syndrome.
-
- In Georgia, they have anti-sodomy laws. Which is a way of saying "We, the
- State, are going to tell you two (or N) consenting adults what you can or
- can not do".
-
- In California, they try to have AB-101 laws, Which is a way of saying "We, the
- State, are going to tell you two (or N) consenting adults what you can or
- can not do".
-
- The two states, and those two laws, are the two sides of the same
- damn coin.
-
- Which is why it is refreshing to see the Colorado voters start to put
- a stop to this nonsense of "victimology".
