I mean, why ban the sales, if you're not going to go all the way with it? What's the logic behind that?
Another point on your multitudinous posts on this subject - anyone besides the repressed Davenport sponsoring this bill? And since it's a long way from passage, how can you maintain it's the will of the people of South Carolina?
Just because one guy wants to make a name for himself and do his best rendition of Carrie Nation doesn't mean there's any consensus out there. Wouldn't it be more prudent to say a legislator wants to ban the sale of these toys, rather than say "the people of South Carolina"?
Your post simply makes no sense. Contrary to what you say, no, they are not analogous. As usual, you've missed the point. Just because you would like them to be analogous doesn't make it so.
So to reiterate, what's the purpose of banning the sale of these items, and stopping there?
You know, I've always been more than a little wary of people who, not content to live their own lives, seemingly want to live everyone else's for them. This guy's attempt at this type of legislation definitely falls under this category.
His time would be much better spent focusing on the real problems of the state that he was elected to represent. If this is their biggest problem, South Carolina, alone among all political entities in the universe, has reached Nirvana.
Somehow, I don't really think that's the case.
CA....
My understanding is that they don't like the storefronts, the window displays, the advertising signage, etc. They consider the display, the marketing, and the sales of these products to be obscene and want them off the shelves.
"Wouldn't it be more prudent to say a legislator wants to ban the sale of these toys, rather than say "the people of South Carolina"?"
I'm assuming this legislator represents at least some of the citizens of South Carolina, so wouldn't it instead be more prudent of me to say "some of the people of South Carolina" instead of "the people of South Carolina"?
This is all you got? Nitpicking words and phrases? This is the sum total of your contribution to the debate?
"This guy's attempt at this type of legislation definitely falls under this category."
It happens. Some guy up for reelection want an "issue" to run on. If "the people" don't want this they'll let their legislators know and it won't pass.
Other than giving me a hard time, have you got a point you're trying to make?
