Weird happenings in California...

Something recently pointed out on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Governator Arnold recently pushed a law through that makes necrophilia a crime. It seems that they found a guy at a morgue passed out on top of a dead woman. On checking the books, they found out there was no law in California against having sex with a dead person. As a result, all they could charge the guy with was "breaking and entering". DOHHHH!

At the same time, prostitution has been legalized in Berkley. So (to paraphrase Jon Stewart), it's ok to have sex with a prostitute in Berkley, but if she dies during the act you MUST stop!

On Flip-Flopping...

Senator Kerry has been accused time and again of "flip-flopping" on a number of campaign issues. In fact, "flip-flopping" is probably the Republican party's favorite catch-phrase (other than "we've turned the corner"). Anyway...what is flip-flopping, really, other than a derogatory term for "changing your mind"? Is changing your mind such a bad thing? If the powers that were would have changed their minds a little sooner about Viet Nam maybe some of the 58,000 Americans that died would be alive today, making valid contributions to society. If the powers that be would change THEIR minds, maybe we'd get the hell out of Iraq and stop getting Americans killed today. Flip-flopping...it's only a negative to bull-headed Texans and VPs getting dual incomes...from the federal government AND Halliburton.
