Thread Name: BS: Spitzer - The Great Disappointment
Subject: RE: BS: Spitzer - The Great Disappointment
Not much, Kevin, we don't. You'll find something in some states. New York City has a fund a friend tapped into to help pay medical bills after he was hit by a bicyclist riding on a sidewalk.

Cross purposes in this thread, like commingling illegal aliens and drunk driving. And Katlaughing wonders why I get on my rhetorical high horse when people inject logical fallacies and straw men into discussions. . .

Social Darwinism and outright bigotry are in high gear here, disguised by flawed arguments to do with the unrelated issues of illegal aliens, drunk drivers, and driver's licenses.

The only reason I give a rat's ass about Spitzer's fall from grace is because he set himself above others and so assiduously pursued and prosecuted lawbreakers. Any kid who knows the zoo joke about taking gulls over the state lion for immoral porpoises knows about the Mann act. It's silly in consenting adult contexts, but it's on the books because it protects victims of predators and kidnapping and the like.
