That Great Dr Laura joke

And a couple of these were used in a West Wing episode in which 
President Bartlett decimated a Dr. Laura-esqe type at a reception at 
the White House, notably the following: 

>I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in 
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair 
price for her?

> I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 
35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated 
to kill him myself,or is calling the police sufficient?<<


I loved the letter, BTW.  Throwing the source back at them usually 
shuts these types up, or at the very least, send them into a tizzy 
trying to find counter arguements!
