The head of Iran's hardline judiciary has launched an unprecedented attack on legal processes in his own country.
So, an Iranian authority wants his judicial system to be more humane, but the American Civil Wrongs Movement wants the US judicial system to be more like the Iranian system by detaining snotty teenagers and punishing people who don't conform to the Moral Code. (You know, death penalty for abortion doctors, punishment for sodomy, and getting arrested for talking too loudly on a cell phone.)
Referring to police brutality against improper dress, he said, "There are tens of civil ways to combat such corruption." [Note: One of my pet peeves is people who translate "tens" to "tens" instead of to "dozens." WE DON'T SAY TENS OF IN ENGLISH, WE SAY DOZENS!!!]
If the Evangelicals had their way, we'd be just like Iran. Fortunately, we have a strong voice of DISSENT, that inherent right in American democracy. (For now, anyway.)
if the laws in the US are so wrong, why don't people change them? note "change" NOT "try to change."
ReplyDeletei am sure US women would love to live under Iranian law .....
I said we are moving in that direction. It is not yet illegal to have abortions, so the doctors are legally safe, though they do have to watch out for those Christian(TM) terrorists that blow them up or shoot them.
