Deciding Which Is More Fun: Guns Or Dildos
THE ANTI GUN PROTESTERS at the University of Texas, Austen have taken to taping dildos to the outside of their backpacks in protest of the new conceal carry gun law, which is against the law. They are beginning to gather together in groups, and parade around campus, so adorned. Campus police are not interfering, choosing instead to treat the situation as a matter of free expression and social protest. The idea behind this really really weird form making a statement is to emphasize that sex toys are illegal on campus, but not are not, to get people to think about the obvious irony involved. And indeed, when you stop and think about it, that does seems a bit strange, doesn't it? You'd almost think that it might be the other way around, or should be, sex toys being legal, and guns not being. O the two, which one is more fun? if you say "guns", you're just plain weird. If you evade the question by saying that fun isn't the point, and both items have different purposes, and we need guns for protection but we need to keep obscene sex toys out of sight, you're even weirder. just answer the question, even it, especially, you happen to be a right wing conservative christian nut case. Sex toys are just plain old more fun, a lot more fun than guns, and safer too. And granted, guns are fun, or can be. For target practice or hunting,or shooting ate each other with paint guns, from a safe distance. But as, noted above by our hypothetical conservative right wing Tea Party Jesus Guns and Money Loon, the purpose of conceal carry on college campuses in the great state of Texas sure isn't fun. Its fear. Fear, leading to protection, or some crazy notion of it. It will be interesting to see whether armed good people stop more criminals and terrorists, or kill more of each other. time will tell. Meanwhile, Maybe the Texas state legislature, or a state or federal court, or UT Administration or some other renowned official governing body will step up, show some real leadership, will decide that conceal carry sex toys are legal, but not open carry, just like guns, for consistency's sake. Because right now, the only people showing any initiative or leadership or community concern whatsoever are the good folks, mostly young ladies, presumably, walking around campus with dildos taped to their backpacks, which seems like the weirdest thing of all in a generally weird situation. But weird situations in general and people with the dildos in particular are by far the most fun.
