"But what about the law?" (video)

ezs note:  I ran across and Rev. Ed Trevors gave a breath of fresh air.  Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap.  I may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him. To find more about him, go to Bing AI and type in 'Who is Reverend Ed Trevors?'

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm (Eastern time).  Look for :

ezs note:  Indiana residents - no doubt, this is bad.  But you can do your part if your state Representative or state Senator voted 'yes' for this idiocy.  As soon as you can, start organizing for his/her opponent.  If there is no candidate, put YOUR name out there.  Today, if possible.
