This is an interesting quiz, though there were several times that it was difficult for me to choose because the two positions were so frickin' similar that I actually disagreed with both of them. But like I've said several times, no one who's as socially liberal as me will ever get elected in this country. I can accept that, even if it means having to choose the candidate I dislike the least in every election.

You preferred Kerry's statements 89% of the time You preferred Bush's statements 11% of the time Voting purely on the issues you should vote Kerry Who would you vote for if you voted on the issues? Find out now!

Oh, and will someone reassure me that this story (Park Service Sticks With Biblical Explanation For Grand Canyon) is not true? Please???

Just make sure you don't own more than 5 dildos...

*snerk* Yeah. Ain't that a stupid law? What are they afraid of? Is someone going to wire ten dildos together and make a bomb, or something?

OMG! I just snorffled water all over my desk when I read that.

If there was a terrorist who made bombs out of dildos, I think I just might have to idoloize them. Especially if said dildo bomb was used to get the current administration out of the White House.

Ya know, I'll bet you could do some damage with a few rabbit vibrators.

[hazelhawthorne.livejournal.com]

Um... and, yeah. Is that really a law?

WTF?

And how do they define dildo?

What if it is just an artistic rendering of a phalic object?
Do vibrators count. Only if they are phalic representations? Or if they are intended for insertion? How 'bout if you can claim that it is just a "personal massage device" that you ordered from the Fingerhut catalog?

I am so disturbed by this. And I am soooo glad I live in California where you can own as many of the damn things as you like and can proudly display them on your shelves as art.

Do you think they might have a special dispensation for people who are professionally licenced as sexologists?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's really a law. (http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2000-08-11/xtra_feature2.html) Welcome to my little hell. :-P

As I said, I find this very disturbing. But I will admit it made me laugh quite a bit too.

I love the bit about the exceptions if you can prove you have a bona fide medical, psychiatric, judicial, legislative, or law enforcement purpose for the dildos.

Would someone please tell me what possible judicial, legislative or law enforcement purpose you could come up with for having a collection of dildos, vibrators and artificial vaginas?!

"Well officer," says the judge, "That Jury just wan't hung enough."

The state senator claims: "Officer, the Governer called me a pussy and I just had ta show him how wrong he was. This is a pussy! I'm not a pussy!"

"Well, of course there is a use for giant, over-sized dildos like this Punisher in law enforcment. I find it is much more effective in subduing criminals that the standard issue nightstick."

Again I ask WTF?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Mwahahaha! Isn't it amazing that just owning a dildo for your own pleasure is a crime? I thought the article made an interesting point about the irony of most sex crimes offenders being men, while most users of dildos are women. *shakes head*

I live in Alabama. It's illegal to have anything in any quantity made for the express purpose of genital stimulation.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Oooh. In Texas, it's just models of gentalia that are verboten. So cock rings are just fine, interestingly enough! :-P

*pets and hugs* Move to Washington! Where a Bush/Cheney sign is so rare it gets baffled stares and comments, where we have Toys in Babeland, where... OK, well, the cost of living, not so good. *frowns*

Actually, we visited Bloomington, IN yesterday (where Indiana U. is located) and were surprised that there were more Libertarian signs than Republican ones. Lots and lots of Kerry supporters, of course, as it's a college campus. But someone in the libertarianism community recently said that the Green party is actually the one that's gaining ground in Bloomington these days. I love the idea of someplace having a Green/Lib division; it's so heartening, somehow, thinking that there are places where you can tell the popular parties apart!
