Actually, gay marriage wasn't mentioned.... Living together isn't
marriage, and most common law marriage statutes have long ago gone by
the boards.
The topic is ISP enforcement of local/regional/state/national "morality".
And I thought it a nice heads-up on the difficulty of technical
enforcement measures, with an example of a "blue" state where 40% of
the citizens ignore the law.... Despite some self-appointed moral
arbiters trying to send them to jail.
The Lynn Rivers Show (WEMU locally) had a nice segment today on
victimless crimes, with the heads of the Libertarian Party and NORML.
Under the Utah law, we'd have to block access to lp.org and norml.org.

Could a real moderator block this nitwit, please?
