5. Kind of like drawing a breath is a gateway to eventual death

Right. So Johnny and Suzie will be learning about Jesus and the dinosaur petting zoo he ran, but they'll also be warned, as a matter of public health, about the slutty practice of hand-holding.

They should just be ridiculed and shamed until they lose their seats, back down, repeal this sort of garbage, and not bring up new legislation based on twisted rightwing religious beliefs. I think Facebook is probably a wonderful vehicle for this ridicule, since many people have friend lists scattered all over the map--the citizens of Tennessee, even the Republicans, will be ashamed to call that state home if they keep being ridiculed for their legislaters' acute cases of troglodytia.
