The Founding Fathers would be appalled at the idea that perversion is a right.

Funny how much prostitution went on back then and how many Founders were rumored to have partaken. One mans perversion is another mans punchline. As long as it's "acts of capitalism between consenting adults", it's none of my business.

This is where the Left/Right dichotomy falls apart. Dems believe humans are all too greedy and must be regulated and controlled. Repubs feel humans are all too evil/immoral and must be regulated and controlled.

Both paths lead to more government. Again, putting the same folks that thought up the EPA and the Post Office in charge of morality seems to be sheer folly at best. Insane stupidity at worst.

Can you prove that? It is known that Franklin was a libertine. You believe that Washington was? Adams? Did they hold proud prostitutes parades?

There were perversion laws in all states, that had always been there, until the 70's. Prostitution is still illegal. You want to strike down centuries of law and claim it's Constitutional when clearly it is not.

Again, we have strayed away from morality a long time ago. When men will not or cannot control themselves, the law will. And until the 1970's, the law did since the 1700's.
