Fingernails on Condoms

The following is an excerpt from Part Two:

The SOCN, Sex Offender Community Notification board, is a pathetic joke. We have to undergo an interview to be classified as level one, two, or three. The levels rate likelihood to “re-offend.” The tests used are administered by SOCN. Results designate us as category one, the lowest level of monitoring and community notification. They decide to classify us at level three anyway. Naturally, we appeal the decision on the premise that high publicity does not equate with high risk. It is obvious that they are upset because we avoided many years of jail time. Their stance was: “There has GOT to be another way to punish them.”

Why do they even bother with testing if they are just going to override the results?

In its “Gay Marriage” special report published in 2004, the apostolate organization Catholic Answers explores the impact that marriage has on society: The evidence is clear. Married people are better off than single or divorced people are. The report cites every advantage possible, from longevity to sustained or improved health, to greater sexual satisfaction resulting in increased happiness. Yet, “There is no data showing similar benefits for same-sex couples. We don’t know whether same-sex couples would enjoy these benefits.” Unbelievable! Let us control the findings to substantiate the desired conclusion. That’s the exact philosophy of SOCN. It makes as much sense as fingernails on condoms, but people swallow that stuff.
