    the beer commercial shows you that when you open up one of their beers you get 20 naked women to show up at your party, but the "other" beer brings balding middle aged men.

    Honestly, which party would be better for you, the host? Buying a few 24 packs of coors light for you and your sports friends or stocking up on 4/$9 wine coolers for the ladies? Think about it

    Government only has the power to make sure it protects your civil rights. They have no authority to dictate the same between private citizens.

    Problem: Any such changes would only affect those convicted (or possibly charged, not too sure on that) after the new statute came into effect. You can't just say that someone already in jail now has to serve 10 more years because the punishment changed, that's an ex post facto violation.

    Of course, you can always just do what New York Governor Pataki did and commit sex offenders to mental hopsitals indefinitely when they've served their time:
