Courtside Seats and Horsemeat

Horse country. NBA dribblers. Hangers on. Decriminalized shooters. Pennsylvania in the red. Plus much more.
p> A LITTLE OFF br> Re: Trent England & Paul Rosenzweig's Horsing Around in Congress : /p> p>State Rep. Charles Morrow challenged: "If you can eat Bo Peep, Bugs Bunny, and Bambi, why can't you eat Mr. Ed?" The Representative misspoke. Bo Peep is a shepherdess, not a ewe. br> -- David Shoup br> Augusta, Georgia /p>

I have a quick comment on the article written by Trent England & Paul Rosenzweig entitled "Horsing Around in Congress." An excerpt from the article is as follows;

"The bill is really morals legislation. For Hindus, cows are sacred and not to be eaten. But do the Hindus run around trying to criminalize beef? No, at least not in America. But certain pious horse lovers will not be satisfied until the federal government criminalizes all those who don't share their values."

p>I found this to be ridiculous and incongruous with the conservative platform that your paper espouses. Aren't conservatives trying to legislate morals constantly? If not, then how else would you describe the effort to pass a constitutional amendment banning gay marriages. To use these two gentlemen's words, [conservatives] will not be satisfied until the federal government criminalizes all those who don't share their values?" br> --
