State Eagerly Exploits Isolated Consent Case to Enact Collective Coercion Upon Entire Community

I originally posted the following information and commentary onto my Facebook wall…

Bans on Bondage and Spanking During Sex Could Be OK, Says Federal Court:
http://reason.com/blog/2016/03/07/bdsm-sex-ban-is-constitutional

() Uh-oh, kinksters: sex cops could be coming for you next. According to a new federal court decision, Americans have no constitutional right to engage in consensual BDSM because “sexual activity that involves binding and gagging or the use of physical force such as spanking or choking poses certain inherent risks to personal safety.” Thus officials could constitutionally ban or regulate such activity in the interest of “the protection of vulnerable persons,” the court held.

My Commentary: FLASHBACK 2016: Last year, due to a single case of alleged abuse, the creepy control-freaking legislators in State of Virginia handed themselves the right to restrict the private consensual sexual activity of all residents… for their own safety, of course! Ironically, they eagerly exploited an isolated issue of consent in order to enact collective coercion upon the entire community.

According to the ruling, “a legislative restriction on BDSM activity is justifiable by reference to the state’s interest in the protection of vulnerable persons, i.e. sexual partners placed in situations with an elevated risk of physical harm.
[…]
“Sexual activity that involves binding and gagging or the use of physical force such as spanking or choking poses certain inherent risks to personal safety not present in more traditional types of sexual activity. Thus, as inCruzan and Glucksberg, a legislative restriction on BDSM activity is justifiable by reference to the state’s interest in the protection of vulnerable persons, i.e. sexual partners placed in situations with an elevated risk of physical harm.”

Jerry C.: Can he spell hypocrisy?

Genaire: I think their is a big difference in promoting the abortion of babies and then financially capitalizing on that abortion over using tissue you have in your lab to then help people.

In other words he’s attempting to save the life not promoting it’s death then financially gaining off that death. (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post)

Discussing the Movie, “50 Shades of Grey”

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of family...

Sara: So I saw 50 Shades of Grey tonight. All I have to say is it’s still a better love story than Twilight.

H. M.: *shiver*

Rayn: There is MUCH irony to your mention of the “Twilight” love story in your post, Sara… Many don’t realize that “50 Shades of Grey” is actually “Twilight” fan-fiction!

Discussing the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Washington, DC

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook note of my friend Cecily M, entitled, “Guest Writer: HIV/AIDS”…

2009-03-24-discussing-the-hiv-aids-epidemic-in-washington-dc

Cecily M.: Hey folk. I’d like to believe that I know a bunch of articulate, intellectual, informed, individuals. Yesterday, my cousin/homie posted a note about HIV/AIDS. She wanted some dialogue about the topic. Unfortunately, the people didn’t really respond. Those that did created quite an interesting dialogue. But for this thing to be such an epidemic, it was interesting to see the lack of interest. To me, it almost explains the epidemic. Could it be our indifference?

Today, I’ve copied and pasted her note here. I want you to read and I want you to comment. Cuz I know that you are at work right now, doing nothing. That’s why 12 of my friends are already on facebook with green dots. The rest of you are here too, probably in invisible mode. Read and respond folk. Let’s get it!

GM all! I have something on my mind. I was talking to my doctor last week Thursday and we were in the room chatting about African American people having the highest HIV/AIDS percentage in the nation. Please read the facts below.

She then told me a story, “I recently went to a medical conference and an African man was speaking to other doctors and he stated “Why are American women so desperate?” At first I was offended, but I thought to myself, he’s right”

My question to my facebook reader’s men and women: Is American women desperate? And are we really the cause of spreading STD’s and HIV/AIDS so rapidly?

Let’s talk about it!!!

Fact: At least 3 percent of District residents have HIV or AIDS, a total that far surpasses the 1 percent threshold that constitutes a “generalized and severe” epidemic, according to a report scheduled to be released by health officials tomorrow.

That translates into 2,984 residents per every 100,000 over the age of 12 — or 15,120 — according to the 2008 epidemiology report by the District’s HIV/AIDS office.

“Our rates are higher than West Africa,” said Shannon L. Hader, director of the District’s HIV/AIDS Administration, who once led the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s work in Zimbabwe. “They’re on par with Uganda and some parts of Kenya.” (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post)
