Just so I'm clear, the state of California is broke, right?

Californians are facing billions in tax hikes and spending cuts that could mean more cutbacks in services and givebacks by state workers.

And yet, for some reason the debate over foreskin has a place.

You read me right, anti-circumcision activists convinced thousands in San Francisco to sign a petition, and now in the fall voters will decide whether to ban the procedure from being performed on boys younger than 18. Don't laugh, Santa Monica was looking at a similar vote up until this week, and the organization responsible for this movement wants to see this on the ballot all over the country.

I can see the lawn signs now -- Circumcisions: Nip 'Em in the Bud.

Besides the measure having no provision for religious practices -- thereby making it unconstitutional -- it's downright ludicrous when you consider that Matthew Hess, the man who has written similar, but failed, legislation for states across the country, is the same Matthew Hess who demonizes Jewish culture in his online comic book "Foreskin Man."

The creator of "Foreskin Man" is a leader in the battle to once again force the nose of government into some extremely private business.

I wonder what's next, "Captain Vasectomy?"

"The Penile Crusader?"

We chuckle, but from interracial marriage to masturbation, politicians have been trying to tell us what to do with our genitalia for centuries. It's just a microcosm of our culture's sexual immaturity which craves to know every sordid detail surrounding New York Rep. Anthony Weiner's sexting photo but is too giggly to say what it's a photo of, a penis. Or better yet, why don't we simply mind our own business, seeing how the perfectly legal photo was not taken for the general public's consumption in the first place?

too much government interference. too many laws. it's a wonder that we aren't all in prison for some reason or another. i guess next they will be installing cameras in our bedrooms to make sure we ain't committing sodomy or some other bullshit.

I sent them a little piece of my mind. Google MGM Bill and you'll get their website. their eyes are probably still burning from my insults. funny thing is, these are probably some of the same peop-le that are way pro homo. and yet it is fairly well accepted that homo with circumcision is less likely to pass GRID.

You say politicians shouldn't tell us what to do with our genitals yet the kids don't get a choice in the matter, the parent is making the choice for them. Kinda the same in my opinion.

I don't get the whole circumcision thing but bear in mind i come from a country where it's not a done thing. It happens but rarely and most only get circumcised for medical reasons. I have never even seen an uncircumcised penis up close

I know people say for hygiene reasons but it's not hard to keep ya dick clean.
