Used to establish a government and a court system that considers homosexuality punishable by death.
That they consider it anything to be punished or scorned at all is despicable. That they put them to death is beyond reprehensible. And the fact that we're paying for it...Sigh.

Also on the issue of pay taxes in general, I am glad I get paid under the table when I DO get paid. I haven't made near enough to get taxed, but I was helping my mother with her taxes today, and holy ****... She is nowhere near high income bracket. She is right around the national average. And yet, raped.
Any time someone brings up ethical cultural relativism, I think of stuff like this. These people are barbaric.
I mean, it's an easy case to make. No one in their right mind thinks this is right. Culutural relativists rarely take their own **** seriously. And when they do, they aren't worth communicating with. Some things in culture aren't worth judging. The moral and legal values certainly are.
Not to sound like a hollywood liberal here or anything, but it's looking like time to leave this puppy for some place, preferably down under. I hear Australia rates pretty good with free marketeers, even if they have socialized medicine.
