Indoctrinating kids to be dependent on government starts early. In Pennsylvania, kids enter contests to come up with new ways for the government to interfere with our lives. And now they're talking about arresting dogs:
Rover won't be able to hang his head out the car window any more if an 11-year-old boy gets his wish.Why aren't there any "There Ought not be a Law" contests? I can think of hundreds of things that are overlegislated: alcohol, tobacco, firearms, drugs, seatbelts, wetlands, etc, etc.Marc McCann came up with the idea of ensuring that dogs are restrained while in cars as part of state Rep. Tom Stevenson's [a Republican]annual "There Ought to be a Law" contest. . .
"I never did like dogs sticking their heads out the window," said McCann, one of more than 500 students from his legislative district who proposed laws. "Maybe a sign might have been too close to the road and they'd get hit. Maybe they'd jump out the window on a highway."
This is an atrocity. I always thought politicians were juvenile, turns out that they simply ask children to come up with ideas for them. I wish this kid would stick his head out of a window of a fast moving car that passes to close to a road sign. I hope Tom Stevenson jumps out a window.

That politicians that come to think they are better than us, that we exist to pay the taxes to support them (see the Kelo decision), that they don't have to obey the same laws as us, or that they alone have the wisdom to decide how everyone should live, thereby have changed their legal species from Human to Rabid Vermin, and may be hunted at any time, using any weapon that doesn't endanger innocent bystanders. (No one trying to protect the Rabid Vermin or to aid them in their work is innocent.)
Posted by: markm at July 7, 2005 5:13 PMReminds you of the very old joke about the definition of the word "politics".
Poly means "many" in Greek.
Ticks are bloodsucking vermin.
Put them together, and we get "politics".
Just because someone thinks "there ought to be a law" doesn't mean there ought to be a law.
