Convictions seem like a distraction from the narrative here: Menendez fucked over his constituents. Obviously every politician that does so should be equally castigated. The court is irrelevant in this context and should be considered a tra

So, you're referring to encoding via DNA? Why not just say that explicitly rather than refer to some occluded understanding of the word "gene"? This also seems to be a semantic distinction largely irrelevant to understanding

I'm all down to write off contract law as "puritanism" but the rot is far deeper than an aesthetic (and frankly I'm unclear how puritanism applies to this situation at all). EDIT: I'm not sure why porn is particular
