Slog - Comments on Dildos in Texas http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/dildos_in_texas The state Attorney General in Texas, Mr. Greg Abbott, is appealing the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal's pre-Valentine's Day decision to toss out his state's ban on sex toys, vibrators, and dildos. Allowing Texans to own dildos, the state believes, will lead to Texans fucking members of their immediate families--and then marrying all their relatives too. Only a ban on dildos, it seems, stands between Texas and total incestuous, bigamous anarchy....

Like there's a snowball's chance im hell that the Supremes will grant cert for that - especially when they've already made their position on this issue quite clear already.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Texas executes so many inmates, the AG is probably worried about job security if they start taking laws off the books.

Can't you tell by the first sentence?

@9,

OK, then Texas should make owning dildos legal, but make it illegal to use them.

Perhaps if the people there are allowed any sexual freedom they will return to their inbred ways.

Gee, I thought that only a ban on gay rights stood between Texas and total incestuous, bigamous anarchy!

Oh, yeah? It's not illegal in Florida. It's still a furry free love zone.

We'd be a far better country, and we wouldnt be fighting these stupid battles.
When are the Reich Wing, fundamentalists, and Repugnicans of America going to keep their noses out of others' private lives ?
It's pathetic

How far do these anti-masturbation laws go? What are they going to do, ban cordless drills and cob corn? People are way too smart for stupid laws like these.
