Beyond Opinion

I just about heard the most ridiculous thing ever said by a national ruler. Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad just told an audience at Columbia University that "Iran does not have homosexuals." Huhh?? And there is no steroid use in professional sports, and there is no marijuana smoking in the United States, and there are no traffic jams on I-95, and pigs have wings and the sea is hot and there are glaciers in Iran's deserts. How can he make a statement like that? If even one person in a thousand is homosexual, that makes for about 36,000 homosexuals in Iran. Oh, well, at least he can say it in this country. I wonder if people are free to make statements in his country.
