It just occurred to me that there are no states named East Statename.

If aborted babies automatically go straight to heaven, then what's the problem? Sounds like a neat loophole.

There's no paradox if you look at it as a social contract. If you don't uphold your part of the contract (tolerating others) then you aren't entitled to benefits from the contract (being tolerated by others).

Does Christofascists flipping out over equal treatment really qualify as a 'controversy' anymore?

As long as the thing you promise to do (or refrain from doing) is something that you would otherwise have the legal right to do, it can be an enforceable contract term.

In this case, the buyer promises to refrain from selling their car in the first year--something they otherwise would have a legal right to do.

A contract for murder, on the other hand, would not be enforceable because there is no legal right to commit murder.
