I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm starting to feel that legislators these days have lost grip on reality. |

While I do find the idea of making such a law ridiculous, I also find this statement against the law equally absurd - quote:

There is nothing moral about the "Moral Majority" In fact it is if not an oxymoron, certainly a contradiciton of terms. |

Just thought I would interect, many on the the other side of the political spectrum, myself included, find this equally stupid. I personally think the people of Virginia should be raising hell. |

So I must assume that fat guys who's ass-cracks pop out when they lean over will be fined as well? Oh wait...no that's fine because no underwear would be visible... quote:

Honestly The BBC (amonst many others) has been having a good old giggle at this and reminded us of this little gem too. Bush filmed in underwear |

This really isn't a surprise to me. Laws like this have come down throughout all governments throughout history. The reason why it shocks you that it would come about in 'the civilized democratic west' is that people nowadays have made the word 'democratic' equal to words like panacea and holy. And believe that 'nothing bad could ever come through democracy. For democracy is the only good form of government.' WRONG! Hitler was a product of democracy. He was elected through democratic means. Saddam Hussein got into power because of a democratic government, of a country commonly known as America. The same country which throughout history has placed power hungry dictators all throughout south america just to keep it out of the hands of european powers and under the cover of 'instilling peace'. This is of course after we sent out the Monroe Doctrine stating the U.S would be a neutral power. (So much for that). |

I am merely saying that such a stupid law shouldn't surprise people after a million other stupid laws have been passed. and that not everything that comes from democracy is good even though that is how it has been marketed. |

I never necessarily meant my fellow inmates merely most of the people that I talk to in the outside world. |
