San Francisco has long been a study in opposites and a hotbed of hypocrisy.
The latest proposed hypocritical move is their banning of circumcision for anyone under the age of 18.
On the surface, this may seem a sane and reasonable response to cultural practices that have been held up as painful and traumatizing treatment of the very young that has little justification.
That argument will probably go on for the next century.
The reality that skewers the lawmakers and those backing the ban is that there is no lower age limit for body piercing.
So, you can place a thousand devices in your kid's face (and perhaps more private areas) but you can't circumcise them until they are 18?
If passed, it couldn't possibly be an anti religious move by the city filled with people who's hostility towards religions that don't justify lying, rape, slavery, and genocide.
Could it?
BTW, the latest body mods allowed in cities like SF are:
LED implants (I light up your life)
Dermal anchors (a place to hang your purse or cell phone?)
