The Political and the Cultural Realms

i'm not saying that there is no violence or homophobia in ireland, of course there is. But like the kinds of solidity and bonds that it forms are really profound. Whereas in the us, when you have courts solving or applying pressure on cultural issues, it always ends up being disaster. The political realm shouldn't be trying to dominate the cultural realm. And i think that that's what people are trying to get to when they're like, oh, the federal government doesn't have any power any more. It's the states. So that also is like, a huge problem.
