Will America ever grow up? Will we ever get the legislature out of the bedrooms of consenting adults? In the following video interview with Molly Ivins, the very odd world of the dildo diaries is explored.
You may have to listen to this you tube video with Molly Ivans a couple (or more) times. If it is your virgin viewing, you maybe subject to fits of giggles at the absurd lengths gone to preserve free trade, of life size representations of portions of the male anatomy, in the State of Texas, and miss some of the more telling details.
Like the fact you can sell things that vibrate as long as they don't "look like a penis", and you can sell things that look like a penis as long as you like, as long as you don't call them dildos. They must be sold for educational, scientific or artistic purposes only, and the buyer signs a statement saying that is how these items were represented in the selling process.

I have to hand it to Molly. She keeps a straight face as she educates about the ever changing Texas penal code, as it grows and shrinks depending on what faction is currently stimulating the legislature to action against immorality. She highlights the efforts of some historical memorables like Maddog Walter Mengden, Debra Danberg and Warren Chisum. In her description of one sweeping law, Molly refers to a last minute addition of a particularily unhygenic act that would make Cornel Sander's blush (or gag), no matter how much a person may love chicken. <snip>
