OPINION
Texas laws against
sex toys antiquated
A woman named Joanne Webb was caught by undercover narcotics
investigators for the sale of illegal items in Texas in October 2003. The
authorities posed as potential customers and caught her running the illegal
wholesale of said items from her own home. If she is convicted, she could
be sentenced to a year in prison and a $4,000 fine. Webb had the audacity
to question what she did wrong.
Suicide bomber neither selfless
nor heroic
Since Jan. 14, the Palestinian media has been buzzing
with the words Istish-haad (heroic martyrdom) in connection with the name
of 22-year-old Reem Raiyshi. Raiyshi, a wife and mother of two, strapped
a bomb to her chest, walked into a Gaza Strip checkpoint and blew herself
up, killing four Israeli soldiers and wounding four of her fellow Palestinians.
