haters

Yesterday, Elf had an entry titled The Evangelical Instinct Toward Honor Killing. Worth a read:

A quarter-million women a year die of cervical cancer. The FRC, seeking to protect their message, has decreed that those deaths should continue rather than let one more woman be less fearful with her sexuality. In saying so, the FRC betrays both the worst instincts of the monotheistic traditions that came out of Judea and the worst instincts of American culture: It wants to continue the honor killings of women who defy the FRC's sexual mores, but it doesn't want to have to look them in the eye while doing so.

"FRC" refers to the Family Research Council.

And since we're on the subject of the haters, buried in the so-called "Children's Safety Act of 2005" is a clause that would attempt to apply 2257 record keeping requirements to any scene that simulated sex. Screw Griswold v. Connecticut[Wiki], they're after the First Amendment.
