[ale] Off topic - tin foil not needed in Georgia?

[Jim Kinney]

You should have seen the person presented as a victim/witness of this. I
have _NO_ intent to be cruel or insult people with mental health issues but
the congress critter who brought this poor woman up to testify did not do
much screening of her as a valuable aid to his cause. She presented herself
as a serious "voices in the head" person.

Thus the "laughing-stock" status of Georgia was once again strengthened.

On the otherside of this is the potential to do chip implants for the
sex-crime convicts after they serve there term as a means of tracking them
at all times.

No matter how I look at this, my skin crawls.

 Faith is a cop-out. If the only way you can accept an assertion is by
faith, then you are conceding that it can’t be taken on its own merits.
