Well, there are a bunch of crazies in this country. I have a hard time fathoming why Kansas would start to take this route, but then I consider myself a rationalist.

I fear that this is the model of government that the Religious Right of the United States would like to see in every state. This model pays lip-service to the Bill of Rights while mandating religious values onto everyone by acts of law. This will lead to an uninformed and repressed society that will quickly push this country into the backwater of the world.

But then I also have issues with the fundamentalist Christianity in the United States. I have never talked to a group of individuals who were so hypocritical about their religion. On one hand, they claimed that they followed the preachings of Christ, and on the other, they try to impose their beliefs onto everyone they possibly can. It seems like some of Christ's teachings are discarded when fundamentalists run up against things that they don't like or make them uncomfortable.

Some of this seems to be going too far. A registry of teenagers who have sex? Most teenagers will never admit to that, especially to their parents or the government. I'm not sure what the legislature intends to accomplish by passing this law, but its a very bad idea.
