- So when the pro-NAMBLA-ites post in soc.motts, and there is no outcry, then
- the majority of posters must accept the NAMBLA position.

- So then if the Mafia provides benefit (lower crime rates in a Mafia controlled
- area -- no one holds up YOUR liquor store if you're paying protection money
- to the mob), then you have no basis for complaint.
-
- So, let's force all homosexuals to stop having sex. They will clearly benefit
- from this is terms of health, so they have no basis of complaint.
-
- And of course, you approve of the War On Drugs -- reducing access to drugs
- DOES promote the health and welfare of people. So you can't complain about
- that either.
-
-
- Do you EVER think about your absurd positions and the implications thereof???

- These opinions are MINE, and you can't have 'em! (But I'll rent 'em cheap ...)
