[Slowhand] Digest overhaul ??

Fri Jul 30 02:35:00 EDT 2004

The digest is what all of us as subscribers wish to put in.
If you are bored with it...start a thread.
 There are many of us who have done just that several times a year just to
get something new going.

Just for the heck of it...I am going to attach a sample of the Allman
Brother's Digest for your entertainment and perusal.  I deleted everyone's
e-mail for privacy. As you can see this thing is not always about the ABB.
There are discussions about the ABB touring with Skynyrd this summer and the
use of the confederate flag in tour posters etc. Links to ABB related
articles, show reviews, general discussions.... This list bounces all over
the map!

What do you all think..?  I would love to see some comments.     Scott

Don't mean to be picky, but we are not talking about the Stars and Bars, but
the Confederate Battle Flag. Many people incorrectly refer to the
Confederate Battle Flag as the Stars and Bars. They are not the same. Never
were. Here's a link to the flag known as the Stars and Bars.

The reason I mention this is to correct something that is commonly
incorrectly named.

Federal Court OKs Ban on Sale of Sex Toys

Thu Jul 29, 3:21 AM ET
Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!
By JAY REEVES, Associated Press Writer
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A federal appeals court Wednesday upheld a 1998 Alabama
law banning the sale of sex toys in the state, ruling the Constitution
doesn't include a right to sexual privacy.

In a 2-1 decision overturning a lower court, a three-judge panel of the 11th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (news - web sites) said the state has a right
to police the sale of devices that can be sexually stimulating.

The American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites), which represented
merchants and users who sued to overturn the law, asked the appeals court to
rule that the Constitution included a right to sexual privacy that the ban
on sex toy sales would violate. The court declined, indicating such a
decision could lead down other paths.

"If the people of Alabama in time decide that a prohibition on sex toys is
misguided, or ineffective, or just plain silly, they can repeal the law and
be finished with the matter," the court said.

"On the other hand, if we today craft a new fundamental right by which to
invalidate the law, we would be bound to give that right full force and
effect in all future cases including, for example, those involving adult
incest, prostitution, obscenity, and the like."

Attorney General Troy King said the court "has done its duty" in upholding
the law.

Sherri Williams, an adult novelty retailer who filed the lawsuit with seven
other women and two men, called the decision "depressing."

"I'm just very disappointed that courts feel Alabamians don't have the right
to purchase adult toys. It's just ludicrous," said Williams, who lives in
Florida and owns Pleasures stores in Huntsville and Decatur. "I intend to
pursue this."

U.S. District Judge Lynwood Smith Jr. of Huntsville has twice ruled against
the state law, deciding in 2002 that the sex toy ban violated the
constitutional right to privacy. The state appealed both times and won.

The state law bans only the sale of sex toys, not their possession, the
court said, and it doesn't regulate other items including condoms or
virility drugs. "The Alabama statute proscribes a relatively narrow
bandwidth of activity," U.S. Circuit Judge Stanley F. Birch Jr. wrote.

Circuit Judge Rosemary Barkett disagreed, saying the decision was based on
the "erroneous foundation" that adults don't have a right to consensual
sexual intimacy and that private acts can be made a crime in the name of
promoting "public morality."

actually, the future can start at any time starting now or previously.  so,
back around 1854, was when the Political party then known as
Democrat-Republican split.  Republicans were against extending slavery and
the difference between the two camps was irreconcilable.  Lincoln, a
Republican, went on and abolished slavery. However, it took over another 100
years before any formal national civil rights policy was formed.

ok, you're right, i need more coffee...
