Imagine you are in your room having sex and someone walks in. No big deal, right? Not in the UK, where a man was having sex, the cleaners knocked and he did not answer, so they used the master key to come in and found him in the act. The problem is that he was having sex with his bike; and let me reiterate in private! Now he is convicted and placed on a sex-offender registry! Whatever you think about the sanity of someone who do such a thing, let alone whether a bike can truly give one carnal pleasure, what on the earth is the state doing prosecuting people for the nuttiness in their bedrooms, let alone declaring them deviants?
The worst part is that many Brits and their groupies come over here and lecture us on the evils of America, the inadequacies of Canada, and the superiority of the English legal system (if I have to hear another anglophile law prof. tell me what a terrible Supreme Court we have and what a wonderful House of Lords they have, I will gag) but they seem oblivious to the tyranny that plagues their state. It is akin to a German circa 1936 telling us how inarticulate MacKenzie King was and how eloquent Hitler was.
