A lot of those laws were voted into effect before our grandparents were born.

They made perfect sense back then, but don't have any relevance to today's world, and are hardly upheld.

Default RE: Strange laws.

the craziest thing is the common fact that a clause in the new bush administration initiated patriot act deems anyone who breaks any US state law a terrorist.

so if you live in Texas, and you own pliers you better look out before the terrorist police chuck you in a concentration camp.

like these laws, bush is such a fucken joke.
