From the article:

But the whole bundle of misdemeanor charges - including seven counts of public lewdness, one count of indecent exposure and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child

Question:  The reason why public lewdness, indecent exposure and endangering the welfare of a child are misdemeanors is what, exactly?

Yes, I know that it's because they don't cause immediate and lasting physical harm, but I think that it may be time to rethink such penalties for sex-related crimes.

The same thing occurred to me as I was reading.And to think that here in the Gay State there's legislation pending that would make the altering of a handicapped parking placard a *felony*.
