RICHMOND, Va. — It's one thing to dangle fuzzy dice from a rear view mirror, but decorating a trailer hitch with a large pair of rubber testicles might be a bit much in Virginia.State Del. Lionel Spruill introduced a bill Tuesday to ban displaying replicas of human genitalia on vehicles, calling it a safety issue because it could distract other drivers.
Two words, Delegate Spruill: FUCK YOU.
Find something better to do on the taxpayers' dime.
And while this is a Virginia story, we still need to beware -- because this is the kind of thing we'll have going on in Indiana if we allow our legislature to become full-time. They get into enough mischief meeting only 120 days every two years. Case in point: The stupid law passed here several years ago banning drivers from flicking lit cigarette butts from their cars that nobody enforces and every smoker violates. (Every time I see it happen, I say to Sally, "Well, there's another uncollected $10,000 fine.")
Back in the day, H. Beam Piper wrote, "Keep a government poor and weak and it's your servant; let it get rich and powerful and it's your master."
So, folks: Are we citizens or slaves?
I'm beginning to wonder.
P.S.: The article (by the Associated (with terrorists) Press) fails to identify Del. Spruill's party affiliation. So: Name that party!
