Would you say that Carl Olson is lying? Or that he is exaggerating? Or that it is like he says but that you agree with the way it is? Help us out, we non-Oregonians. And what about that self-sterilization thing for 15-year-olds?

[stormer]

He isn't doing either, but what business of it is his? He didn't provide a single example of a 15 year old getting sterilized, but only showed it is statutorily possible that one could. And by the way, until recently, involuntary sterilization was something that many states did frequently. As far as gas goes, yeah, there is no self serve - as far as I know you can't pump your own gas in New Jersey either, but I don't hear anyone bitching about that. And for what it's worth, initiatives for allowing self serve have come up before - they get defeated at the ballot box. Democracy at work...

Carl Olson is telling the truth. He is a convert to Catholicism. I have heard him speak. He was excellent.
