of the value of freedom and why we should always be vigilant about any Right-Wing Fundamentalists who want to impose restrictions on us that are in that vein, i.e., Mosaic Law.

That group may be a smaller, (and shrinking) aspect of our society, but they are in place and zealous about imposing their ideology on others as much as possible. Pence is a shadow figurehead for them, in that sense. That is a real danger, too.

Well, Saudi Arabia seems like such a fun place to visit. Does anyone think the elite there follow all those rules in the luxury high-rises, etc.? Same game. It is for subjugating women and lessors and power and control.

I hope their tourism income gets a hit from that, at least. You would think they would be lax on visitors who are not citizens or religious, but no. Intolerance is often an evil of its own, parading around as righteousness and good.
