Battle over the Ten Commandments

The battle continues over the removal of a Ten Commandments monument from the Alabama Judicial Building. A lawsuit has been filed in Federal Court to block the monument's removal on behalf of a Christian radio talk show host and a pastor. They'll lose.

Two people asked me about my posting yesterday where I said "Am I the only one who sees nothing wrong with 14-year-olds having consensual sex with other 14-year-olds?" Just to clarify, the statute involved in that story was intended to prevent adults from having sex with minors. It was not intended to prevent minors from having sex with other minors. So, yes, I do have a problem with an adult having sex with a 14-year-old. But, I do not have any problem with 14-year-olds having consensual sex with other 14-year-olds. Hell, I was having sex at 14, why shouldn't they?
