The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

So what do you do if you catch your partner munching the neighbour's pillow? (I mean that in the most endearing way, of course)
So, you're saying gay marriage is a trap!

This prolly opens up a can of worms but I am fascinated by the legalities of it.
Heteros marry legally and divorce legally. No need for God to be involved via the church.
(Pam and I married via a celebrant)
I'm assuming gays will have some trouble doing it with the blessing of the church?
That part I understand but how on earth can you not divorce when it's strictly a legal matter?
Why won't the NZ govt recognise the gay divorce process?

Because gay divorce probably confuses the hell out of the conservatives. Is it saving the institution of marriage because less gays are married, or is it destroying it because it's divorce? It's a tough one.

The current NZ PM is a conservative Catholic.
They had the chance in the past couple of weeks to remove a never-used blasphemy law from the books.
Instead they decided that it should go through a committee process.
Why do things efficiently when you can drag it out at the expense of the tax payer?

Not sure which states, but we've had the same issue here in the recent past.
Law is just so weird if it isn't written darn near perfectly.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Up in the middle of the night. I had a disturbing dream. Ate some chicken flavored rice and had some fruit punch.

Pulled an all nighter.
I suppose I should actually try to get some sleep now even though it's 5fuckingAM in the morning.
