17. Follow-up question: This may be very true.
Edited on Sun Apr-23-06 12:05 AM by Dunvegan
But why is it important enough to felonize sex toys over...we're talking about putting people in prison for the sale of a vibrator.

I can see saying "community zoning" to prevent a sex shop from opening it's doors in a particular community. I don't agree in the slightest that a tiny sex shop will bring down a town, but that's up to any particular locality.

What I don't get is a movement where the state criminalizes the sale anywhere in the state of any sex toy. It's extremely...well, extreme. We're not even talking porn here. Just adult toys.

What's the point of all that lawmaking and felony criminalizing the of the simple sale of 8 oz. of sculpted hypoallegenic silicone?

How does putting someone in prison for this work for the long-term aims of the right wing?

Or, is this how the right wing "plan" to balance the trade deficit with China?
