Hate Crime

The Petrelis Files thinks Nancy Pelosi is not working hard enough to enact legislation making gays a favored class when it come to "hate" crimes. It got me thinking.

A lot of people hate spinach. What did spinach ever do to merit that?

Some people hate meat eaters. Others hate vegetarians. Why isn't Pelosi speaking up?

And how about rats? Don't they deserve protection? Are cockroaches and flies any less deserving? Are they not all nature's creatures?

BTW what is Pelosi doing for those into S&M or boob fetishists? Why is she only looking out for gays?

Plus what about hating Bush? Or Clinton? Don't Presidents deserve protection from hate?

So here is what we can do for now. We treat all crimes as hate crimes if there is any malice involved what so ever. Like if you steal from the rich because you hate rich people - extra punishment. I think those who hate stupid people deserve extra special punishment. All that would have to be established would be that the victim of the crime was behaving in a stupid manner. A simple statement should do - "Judge, I'm stupid. Punish the perpetrator accordingly."

Kind of an instant IQ test. In public.

We have to get over the idea that the stupid will be punished. Or the spinach.

galt,

I get it. We are all equal. Just some are more equal than others.

So why aren't there hate crime laws to protect meat eaters? Don't they deserve protection?

Or if we need protection against sexual prejudice why do gays get it and S&Mers not?
