"So your position is that the private ownership of sex toys by others is somehow forcing perversion on you?"

I'm not aware that the law covers private ownership. The title of the article is, "Bill would make sale of sex toys illegal in South Carolina". Did I read it wrong? Or didn't you see it?

The sale of sex toys in South Carolina does not force perversion on me, no. Then again, this isn't about me, now is it?

The citizens of South Carolina, however, seem to feel that the sale of sex toys in their state forces perversion on them.

Are you saying that the citizens should not be allowed to petition their state legislature to prohibit these products? Are you saying that they must allow this in the name of "freedom" -- the priciple being "Freedom for me and not for thee"?

  "You don't like the Goths?"
  "No! Not with the persecution we have to put up with!"
"Persecution?" Padway raised his eyebrows.
  "Religious persecution. We won't stand for it forever."
  "But I thought the Goths let everybody worship as they pleased."
  "That's just it! We Orthodox are forced to stand around and watch Arians and Monophysites and Nestorians and Jews going about their business unmolested, as if they owned the country! If that isn't persecution, I'd like to know what is!"
-- L. Sprague deCamp (Lest Darkness Fall)

Paulsen, you have demonstrated incredible ability to get things "Bass Ackwards". Do you walk down the street that way? Is your car stuck in reverse?
