The cost of such intrusive laws is high in terms of individual liberty, while the benefit to society of laws regulating sodomy is dubious.

What piffle. What a gold-plated moronic statement. The disease and early deaths left in the wake of sodomy-vectored AIDS alone exceeds that of World War I. Worl War I was pleny expensive. To pretend that no similar cost has attended the rampant sexual perversion of sodomy requires a special kind of ignorance.

Anti-sodomy laws are not enforced. So how are they going to avert the cost you allude to?

The development of your argument would have us believe that legislating against sodomy would lower the transmission of AIDS, and consequently, reduce the medical cost to society. I would suggest that laws against sodomy would have virtually no effect on the incidence of those acts, and that said transmission would not diminish one whit.

What WOULD happen is that police would be empowered to kick in peoples' bedroom doors and haul them off to the jug because they were engaged in a sexual activity as old as Man.

The cost is obvious; the benefit dubious.

In addtion, your argument is grounded in the notion that socity has the right to regulate any activity that may adversely affect the collective wellbeing. Where does THAT power end? If the cops can spy on my bedroom, can't they also spy on my kitchen? My garage? My bathroom? Do you really want to live in such a world?

By the way, you might try making your point with a little less vitriol and a little more substance.

"...sodomy-vectored AIDS..."

You know something we don't know?

It seems that sodomy as been around since Biblical Old Testament times and even before that, while AIDS has only been around this past few decades.

If indeed, AIDS is sodomy-vectored as you say, where has it been these past few thousand years?

If your passion is driven by the noble cause of protecting the world from disease, you should direct you anergies at demanding answer as to the origin of the virus, rather than using it as a tool to further your bias on the subject of homosexuality.
