Is there any support for this bill or is it just a random NY legislator proposing a bill with no actual support or plan for getting it passed? EDIT: It looks like this bill is in committee and only has one sponsor, so I am thinking no, but one never knows.
Someone has to dip their toe in to see how people react. That no big names are behind it doesn't mean they aren't "behind" it.
The people who proposed this need to be put on display tied upside down somewhere so that the message is clear.
If someone tells you "I want to take a crap on your head", the apropriate response is not saying NO, it's making sure they never ask that question again.
