That's an interesting question. Why should a criminal have to lie and say he didn;t commit the crime, anyway, amiright? Well...I suppose it would at least show that he put in the effort. Rather than telephoning that shit in lazily and counting on a common apathy (or persecution complex) to carry him across the finish line of a consolation ruling that absolutely did -not- affirm that he had any right to violate the civil rights act.
There are two sides to this issue, sure. One side that affirms that we have civil rights..and the other that prays to american jesus every night that those rights get repealed.
Civil rights are not about need vs necessity..or, for that matter, whether or not something is art. At all. It;s not as if you have civil rights at the grocery store but not the toystore or the art gallery. No one elses civil rights give them to right to violate anyone elses civil rights. You asked your son his opinion, and your sons opinion was wrong. He may not personally feel the sting, but to violate the civil rights of another is to violate our own, because they are the same rights. No one forces a baker to be a baker, and when they choose to become a baker they agree to adhere to our laws....laws that are most definitely worth it.
