The Houston Chronicle editorial about Rep. Edwards brings up a point in which we think we stand wholeheartedly in agreement with here at PinkDome. The Chron says the trend to legislate morality is a slippery slope.
Used to be, we could rely on the Republicans for limited government. But, we see with their HB 2 that's no longer the case. And now, we have Dems jumping on this bandwagon of trying to create legislation to control every aspect of everything going on everywhere.
Meanwhile, could you fix a damn road? Could you do something about prison overcrowding? Could you ensure that public schools work? Huh? Could you?? It is too much to ask, we guess.
And where the hell are the parents? If cheerleading routines are too sexy....parents should be getting involved. If parents suck, we cannot legislate that they don't suck.
Same goes for so many issues our esteemed Legislators are trying to push this session.
