Okay, I don’t even think Santorum saw this this one coming.

    I think I received some brain damage from that article.

    …but it does warrant the question:

    Where, precisely, does one draw the line? If it’s not at “between a man and a woman,” and it’s not at “between two consenting adults,” where is it?

    If the wall had been an Alabama erection, it wouldn’t have lasted as long as it did in Berlin. The moment they find out something can be used for sex, Alabama outlaws it. One of the state’s mottos, “Sex is Sin”, is ranked second only to its favorite motto, “Freedom is Slavery”.

    The line (or wall, if you will) should be drawn between marriage and the state.

    I was wondering what happened to all those “Weekly World News” writers.

    Pfffttt. I’ve been around a bit, and let me tell you – the Berlin Wall was nothing special.

    The Space Needle, on the other hand…

    Maybe she can find love again with the U.S. border wall.

    UCrawford, I doubt public displays of affection towards walls will be tolerated in the U.S.

    Makes you think twice about someone who calls themselves a bricklayer.

    Boston Legal had a story line this past season in which Jerry (the atty with Asperger’s) meets a woman (Mary Gross from 1980’s SNL) who is married to a concrete block. They have a brief liaison which is broken up by Gross’ character’s jealous streak after which she takes up with a toaster that Jerry gave her.

    As the late John Lennon said, “Whatever gets you through the night–it’s all right, it’s all right.”

    I think Santorum had a point. Where does society draw the line? This woman clearly has an attraction to walls. Does that mean that she is sick or should we respect her odd choices? What about people who DO love animals? Is that okay too? They didn’t chose to be that way.

    I am more puzzled by the legal implications, although I’m no maven on German Family law there are a lot of them.

    First, how did the wall manage to consent to the marriage in the first place?

    Second, is she entitled to some form of payment due her husband’s disability and continued unemployment?

    Third, now that her husband is somewhat of a tourist attraction, is she entitled to a portion of revenue from that? What if they divorce?

    Fourth, I recall that for a while after German Reunification one could buy fragments of the Berlin Wall. Is she entitled to a portion of the revenue from this, and could she sue to have those fragments returned or at least use her marriage to legally coerce payments from people who bought fragments of her husband?

    So many questions.

    My guess is that someone said to her: “If you like that Wall so much, why don’t you marry it?” and she took it too seriously.

    Now that the wall has come down, she is still between a rock and a hard place.

    Does that mean that she is sick or should we respect her odd choices?

    What’s wrong with believing both? I think a lot of people have problems, but that doesn’t mean “we” have to do anything about it. If you support outlawing public sex and she did something with the wall (or her fence), there’s hardly more of a problem than people screwing in public cause.

    People have all sorts of philias. This is certainly a new one to me, but hey, I’m not going to judge her.
