Chapter 334: Debate at the Dinner Party

334

They were relieved when they learned that Edward Young was also in New Haven.

First of all, the major of this product is the Constitution, especially the First Amendment, although he has just graduated, he has already demonstrated his superb "technology" in this field and the deep and solid academic foundation behind it through a series of cases.

Secondly, Edward was originally the editor of the magazine, and he had to give face to the help of his juniors.

Edward scratched his head and accepted the request, but he said that due to the tight time and the fact that the situation was still developing, he could only roughly sort out his personal thoughts from a rather superficial aspect, involving the aspects of judicial technology, and would not say much for the time being.

Nonsense...... Of course, this thing can't be said now, Edward has a hunch that he will go to court because of this matter, so of course his own arsenal must be strictly guarded.

After that, he wrote in a published article:

"The boycott itself is constitutionally protected, and it's the right to free speech, but civil rights activists, or women's rights activists, should be wise to recognize that a blanket boycott can have more serious consequences than allowing them to boycott things."

This quote is aimed at Gloria James, who argues that in order to protect women from pornography, all businesses that rely on pornography for profit should be boycotted – even if only a small fraction of the profits are derived from pornography.

For example, a company that specializes in renting movie tapes, if his family's videotape list has "Deep Throat" in it, then, boycott!

Similarly, a newsstand that has been open in Zhenshan for fifty years, in which fifty or sixty newspapers and magazines are displayed, ahem, of course, there are "Playboy", "Attic", "LSP" Three Musketeers, then, boycott!

"We should remember the abuse of boycotts in the McCarthy era, when film studios and television stations were threatened with 'red', 'pink' and even 'suspicious' directors, actors and technicians, and even made a so-called 'blacklist'!"

"I think Mr. Governor of California should be deeply touched by this" Edward blatantly satirized Governor Reagan in the article, this person is a hot figure in the Republican Party at the moment, and scolding him is considered to be popular, which is not worth mentioning for people who have traveled through the Internet era, and it has long been engraved in his bones.

Besides, it's no secret that Reagan has been in Hollywood for many years as a second-rate actor and has a wide range of connections, and in the era of McCarthy's rampant years, although he opposed political censorship and saved a lot of people with his position in the screen actors' union, he also played a part in the formulation of the "blacklist".

Since he did it, Edward said it! Edward had no good impression of Reagan because he single-handedly created the "Berkeley Massacre", when a large number of police stormed the school and beat the students.

"Look at what these women's activists are doing. I think you can put your hand on your chest and ask yourself, if the book they're opposed to is about atheism or GC and not obscure pornography, would you support this kind of resistance to the Nine Tribes? ”

"If you don't object, then it seems to me that you have no reason to support any boycott of bookstores that sell Playboy, because these magazines are also protected by the Constitution, specifically in the category of freedom of speech, and are not subject to any external interference."

The article is even, the words are clear, and there is not much gunpowder, but the reverse is good after publication, and in any era, the loudest voice is usually not the one with the most supporters, and the "silent majority" is the most rational and trustworthy group in every normal society.

Apparently Edward's speech was to their liking.

Two days later, Edward was invited to a semi-official dinner at Yale, where Gloria James was scheduled to give an impromptu speech, and Edward was hinted that "it would be an opportunity to ask Ms. Gloria questions, as long as they were not too sharp......

In fact, the university is interfering.

The previous statement of the school chose not to help each other, under the guise of letting the film association and the committee for the protection of women's and children's rights solve the problem on their own, but seeing that the film association was a little overwhelmed in the face of the other party's undefeating style.

So it was decided that with appropriate intervention, the school provided the venue and time - and a valuable dinner for the protagonists of the two sides to meet in advance.

The advantage of this is that it can exacerbate the conflict before it can be irretrievably fermented - let the two sides face off openly, as long as the whole process is under control, and this method called early detonation actually works very well.

Small groups can raise their own slogans to attract more followers, but if they only focus on political correctness and ignore other details when debating in public, it will be very unpopular.

Carl Stoker and Nansen Hagen are obviously not qualified, so one must start thinking about the itinerary of history, how could a New York lawyer fight Gloria James at a dinner party......

"Si" Edward gasped, he didn't know Gloria, he had only seen it from a distance before, and his impression of this woman was only burly and abnormal.

But after close contact, I found out that it was not just abnormal......

Let's put it this way, this is a female version of Chris, and Edward even thinks that if she joins the rugby team as a wrestling guard, the average rookie runner will have to lie down on the spot even if she just glares at her.

This woman is just too powerful, physically.

And she's not bad in the brain.

The speech attracted bursts of applause, and she did not attack in many ways, firmly stuck on the problem of the destruction of women in the industry.

This is in line with the reality and a symbol of political correctness.

Edward believed in the route of making a fortune in silence.

Usually at this kind of dinner, he is too lazy to be in the limelight, and eating with his head down is the right way.

But today, entrusted by others, and the high status of the messenger, he had to intervene...... Mouthed......

"I'm Edward Young, Ms. Gloria, and I remember you, the last time I mobilized Occupy Wall Street, you led women's rights activists in solidarity with me, and I'm very grateful for that."

"But you know, I'm a conservative by nature......" As soon as these words came out, the people around him began to roll their eyes, and said in their hearts, big brother, you really don't think of yourself as an outsider, and there was laughter, obviously a positive attitude towards someone's cheekiness.

Edward was completely unaffected, and after he found out that the conservative vest was actually very useful, he boasted of it, anyway, the debate with William Barkley Jr. was known throughout the country, and he said that he was a conservative, and it was not nonsense.

"I think we should all belong to the civil rights guards, so is it really necessary to engage in a debate between friend and foe?"

It's a little trap to throw the problem at the other party, and by the way, the hat of engaging in a debate between friend and foe is also attached.

Unexpectedly, Gloria is very shrewd and not to be fooled: "We used to be comrades-in-arms, and today we don't have the same opinions, but I don't think we should make enemies." ”

"So, that's the contradiction among the people," someone laughed.

"Yes," Gloria nodded immediately, "you know, feminist activists, most of them are against the government's control of speech. You helped our organization a lot of theory during the anti-Comstock Act, and I still remember it. ”

Edward was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, eldest sister, you can!

During the demonstration, the slogans shook the sky, and when it came time for the debate, the tone was not to be said, and a united front was started on the spot?

Next, do we want to talk about armed struggle and party building, although it is not taught in the classroom, but buddy, I am too familiar with this set of dragon slaying techniques...... If it weren't for Master Hoover's refusal, he would have made a lot of money just by opening classes......

The Comstock Act is also a strange thing.

In 1873, Comstock proposed, and was approved by Congress, to ban the dissemination and trade of obscene literature and immoral objects - this seems quite normal, after all, it was a country founded by the Puritans, and it was not surprising that these moths would be produced.

But the evil thing about this bill is that it prohibits the mailing of pornographic literature and literature, and at the same time prohibits the mailing of materials related to contraception and D-birth, because it is "immoral".

From the point of view of legislative skills, the Comstock Act is very problematic, and it seems that it wants to solve a large number of problems that are not very related to each other through a single bill, but in fact, anyone with a little common sense knows that the larger and more macro the wording of the bill, the greater the harm it will cause to society.

It is very convenient to prohibit "immorality" immorality, especially in the United States, which has a huge amount of resources and is thriving.

But the problems that come with it are not in the scope of the consideration of Master Comstock, who is nicknamed "The Moral Guardian". He is only responsible for defending morality, and the problems caused by this have nothing to do with him, which are caused by the corruption of the government and the ignorance of the people.

With the restriction of contraceptive and prenatal knowledge, the number of unwed mothers began to increase, and the business of underground fetal clinics became more and more prosperous, and many people did not get the correct knowledge and had to solve the problem by word of mouth - such as using hangers to force it, which led to a large number of unnatural deaths.

It even affected the combat effectiveness of the troops.

During World War I, the U.S. military's primary military physical examination report showed that nearly a quarter of the recruits who came to enlist in the army were suffering from venereal diseases, which was obviously the most typical consequence of being out of whack, and in order to expand its military strength, the U.S. military had to pinch its nose to include these patients in the establishment.

Over the next two years, an estimated 380,000 U.S. troops were diagnosed with a variety of sexually transmitted diseases, and the federal government spent more than $50 million to treat them.

Later, some experts believed that the main cause of the STD pandemic was that the government did not distribute condoms to soldiers, replacing them with "infantry-specific preventive medicine".

The military hopes that soldiers on leave will be able to consciously use this antiseptic after ooxx, but everyone knows that after ooxx, ghosts have the leisure to do such small things - normal men are busy thinking about the ultimate philosophy of life during the sage time.

In addition, the method of using "infantry prophylaxis" is really a bit anti-human - a liquid is injected into the urethra through a syringe......

All right...... In the eyes of veteran players, this is double the joy, but most people's tastes are not so good. …… The usage rate of this thing can be imagined......

By World War II, American GIs had become clear about how to combat venereal diseases, which would cause severe non-combat attrition and be particularly demoralizing.

Instead of emphasizing abstinence and after-the-fact precautions, the military has included "unethical" condoms in its list of preventive medicines, and soldiers can buy three condoms for 10 cents at any time within 24 hours.

This is a very clever bypass of the Comstock Act – the wartime system, where everything is up to the troops.

Of course, after the war, the government also obeyed the people's will and repealed a neurotic law.

The dustbin that thought the Komstock Act was officially in law would not be paid attention to by anyone except the best-selling authors of the law.

Unexpectedly, over the years, the dregs have risen, and with the more and more high-profile voices of Larry Parry, the social value orientation has begun to return to the conservative side, and TT seems to have begun to be suspected of immorality.

At this time, women's rights organizations also began to shout for the right to have a D child...... The conservatives, especially the Catholic forces, simply opposed contraception, and the two sides fought over it.

At that time, Edward advised women's rights organizations to help them eliminate the possibility of the reactivation of this evil law, and analyzed from a constitutional technical point of view that "the right of women to decide whether or not to continue to conceive is protected by constitutional personal autonomy and privacy provisions" - it can be said that the judicial theory that gave the green light to the D fetus was preceded.

Edward's business skills were impeccable, and those who worked with him praised it, and even his opponents in court privately admitted it - he was extremely talented and dedicated.

Edward even proposed a concrete solution, and after a long conversation with two women's rights advocates from Texas, he suggested that the other party could find a woman who had a D pregnancy and sue the Texas government in his name, and the latter considered the Texas government's move unconstitutional because of her anti-D pregnancy rules that prevented her from having access to safe and professional abortion services in Texas......

Gloria was also involved in this matter at the time, at first they still planned to take the mass line and launch a march to petition, but after listening to the professional and meticulous advice of a lawyer, they were suddenly shocked, and felt that this was the black magic that could solve the problem in the real sense, and immediately nodded like garlic.

Edward, on the other hand, was a good person to the end, and very intimately used his position as a member of the ACLU New York State Youth Committee to introduce them to the ACLU, promising that the organization could provide one-stop service, and the only thing that women's rights activists needed to do was to find such a pregnant plaintiff who had a strong desire to have an abortion.

Of course, for the purpose of protecting the plaintiff's personal privacy, after finding it, he will definitely not use her original name to sue, Edward waved his hand, "Call her Roy, as for who to sue specifically?" It's not impossible to sue the Texas government, but it's better to implement it on a specific individual, because in this way, the guy who is being sued will jump up and down to respond to the lawsuit, instead of dragging things like the government......"

After a search, Dallas City Attorney General Mr. Wade was honorably selected.
