Question for George

[Mr. Truth]

I think establishing a legal age of consent is necessary, but trying to establish some laws is totally out of this world. Prohibition, for example. Consuming alcohol was against the law? Sodomy is illegal in many states, but how many millions of couples, hetero or otherwise, practice that? Legislators, on the whole, may be intelligent when each is considered individually (many are lawyers; lawyers are generally intelligent), but when taken as a group, they appear to be somewhat stupid. My state is trying to enforce saying the pledge of allegiance in classrooms, and was seriously considering a requirement for married people to undergo a year or more of counseling before a divorce could be granted. Ha! Guess who just separted from his wife? Our namby-pamby governor.
