Okay, so then the lawyer intended the state to admit sees it comparably against its interests for you to be raped as for someone's corpse to be boned?

I don't entirely understand this sentence, but just because the remedy is the same does not mean the interest is.

ita, I want the boots you linked to. And the cool ass women dolls. I think my fave was Harriet Tubman.

That's basically what I was saying, minus the convoluted edits.

In my head the remedy is criminalisation. Sexual assault is the shape of the criminalisation, and the state would be comparing these things (or their interests in preventing them) as way too similar by conflating the law punishing (preventing? I feel I'm at the edge of a semantic morass here) them.

How much effort does it take (you're speaking to someone who never watched any Schoolhouse Rock and who, as she types, wonders if she's even thinking of the right show) to get anti-necrophilia on the books, considering it's already on the books in a number of states? Prohibitive?

I may not think it's inherently wrong, but it seems so clear that most people do that I'm surprised it's not explicitly illegal in all states.

It probably got caught up in "if we don't talk about it, it won't happen" avoidance. Kind of like in the middle ages, when the Inquisition would distribute books to local priests of questions to ask in the confessional. They found out that too many people were going "What's that?" then going out and trying the new sins they'd heard about.

OK, I'm watching Studio 60 from last night, and is it just me, or is it hard as hell to understand? As in, the background noise is LOUD, and the dialogue is muffled? Or is it just my TiVo? I'm hoping it gets better soon, maybe. Argh. Yay, closed captions, but eeesh.

I thought the plotting was dense but I had no trouble with the audio.

House:

My moment of Hey, it's Joel Gray! has quickly turned into OH MY GOD EW.

I caught him trying on some high-heeled cubans in DSW that looked to have some kind of a street scene painted on them.

Painted on the whole shoe? Or just the heel?

From a long time ago, but painted on the whole shoe. All should fear this man's shoe taste, really. We're talking lots of convincing not to go with the red 'gators.

ita, I know not of the Zappos, but I will check it out. I just love shopping so much (real shopping) and I never get the same zing out of internet shopping. Although I have taken to internet panty shopping. I can get the same 5 for $25 Victoria Secret panties online as in the store and I don't have to deal with the hopped up sales peopel trying to meet their SPEH quota.

A world of wrod, Dana.

See, I was more, I wonder if Trudy's watching?
