It depend who opens what that will be found to be objectionable, Look at Remeo and Juliet is also obscene if you take it the the level of these believes. The reality is that as my friend the attorney says, most people who do anything at all away from what ever the norm is at the time will fall into legal problems and will do time, as he says the average person can not pay for court cost for anything like this, this case if he had continue would probably moved over to million easy. The key is to be in the right states which things like this just don&#039;t happen reality bites but that how america rides. No matter what anyone here thinks they know, the reality is that if you fall into the court system be ready to shell out a lot of money for basic stuff, imagine something that could give a prosecutor plenty of money to burn and great political clout. For get about the attorney on the defendant side if its court appointed its basically someone just buying time or not a very good attorney unless you can get one from outside and these cases are expensive and long, not something a real attorney want&#039;s to spend time doing. We have so many laws now against so much that those who talk about how it will never happen to them can find themselves in trouble, of course you could always use in Iowa the religion card maybe he should have used that one. As for transporting, that is a common attack when everything else fails, read a little about the law and what technics are used the transportation one is used all over for almost anything they can, don&#039;t be so naive to believe this was a good thing, the reality is like in many countries we are also heading into the dreaded religions right knows best. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh give me a break they are like robots.
