(As parodied in the final episode of Seinfeld). I considered whether or not this was the start of "Bad Samaritan Laws."<br /><br />And, yes, Karen, I agree with your definition of "pervert."Ken Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352088132228110064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015748.post-43411199193148904412012-05-31T11:48:28.595-07:002012-05-31T11:48:28.595-07:00god, what can i even say? i do think, given that ...god, what can i even say? i do think, given that we can assume that at least some of the folks behind this estimable law are christian, we might want to do them all a favor and rewrite some biblical passages. we could start with the good samaritan. the first two guys ignore the poor fellow ibleeding in the street, and when the samaritan helps him, throw them both in jail. and this makes jesus very happy, because that's what god wants us to do--loathe thy neighbor as thyself. funny how they use the word 'pervert' pretty exclusively around sex. anyone who would pass, and then reinforce, such a law is my idea of a pervert.karen lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905540909994791438noreply@blogger.com
