They are gunning for us, and next is human nature itself with biotech and molecular biology. You will be conscripted similarly. Very soon it will be other words somewhere someone loves God and is a threat to the state cult. That's the banal logic of Power, there must be communal purpose in order to rule over a mass of people. Easy enough eventually to unite against Christianity. They of course will "know not what they do".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15895111.post-72590563350393823242013-02-11T18:29:20.423+01:002013-02-11T18:29:20.423+01:00Brilliant.

That explanation caused the delay of the repeal for a year. As I recall, that statute was as old as Arizona - 1912. People have been skittish about talking about homosexual acts for reasons of modesty for a long time. Maybe this more recent occurrence of skittishness is to be applauded.<br /><br />Still, it is surprising that people in government with fine educations seem not to know the words that can be used to more or less politely describe these acts. It's even more surprising they should seem not to want to use them. Were they not required to take Women’s Studies or Queer Studies? Maybe this shocking failure of the education system is to be applauded as well. <br /><br />As members of the Left, they have missed an opportunity. There's no need for big words or graphic descriptions. Per noted feminist Catherine Mackinnon, all sex is rape. So, why not close the circle and just define consummation with the same words as rape, which is, in the old definition, "penetration in the least degree." Or, is it only heteronormative acts that are rape?<br /><br />Given what must be the skittishness that still exists in postmodern Britain (let alone the US), it would be hilarious to watch people testify in open court about what they thought was or was not sex in order to void their "marriage" on grounds of non-consummation. Hilarious, if not for the offense to modesty. <br />Billynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15895111.post-27394200109827384092013-02-03T00:09:02.507+01:002013-02-03T00:09:02.507+01:00I'm glad that someone else has noticed how dec...I'm glad that someone else has noticed how decidedly unerotic it is to hear modern progressives talk about sex. Catholic websites are chock-full of discussions about remaining chaste, but their pointers are limited to "Go for a run," and never include the good stuff like "Spend fifteen minutes listening to Sandra Fluke talk about getting it on."<br /><br /><br />~bridgetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15895111.post-32899552803461343262013-02-02T18:15:57.487+01:002013-02-02T18:15:57.487+01:00I never use the word "gay" when I mean h...I never use the word "gay" when I mean homosexual.
