Another Absurd Analogy Down the Drain
by Joe?Pulcinella
Whenever I was in a discussion with someone over the benefits of a stateless society, I would always bring up some absurd, extreme consequence that could arise from a government program gone wrong (don't they all?). A favorite response to a request that the government "do something about AIDS," would be to remind that person that all I can guarantee is that the government will exact the payment from you to solve the problem but all you'd get in return would be new legislation requiring condom dispensers in Catholic churches.
Well, you just can't be more absurd than the government anymore.
Catholic and other religious social service groups must provide contraceptive coverage through their workplace-sponsored medical insurance programs even if they consider contraception a sin, according to Thursday's ruling by New York state's highest court.
Thanks to Lew Rockwell for the tip.
