Find some of your favorites and post them here! I like that it's illegal in Idaho to give your sweetheart a box of candy weighing less than 50 pounds. There must be some BIG women in Idaho! ;)

From the website - in Kansas, Rabbits may not be shot from motorboats. Guess Jimmy Carter is lucky he didn't encounter his swimming rabbit in Kansas.
I would argue that the following law in my city is not a dumb law: One may not picket a funeral. Given the close proximity to the stupid group in Topeka, this is a good law. Actually, this group is the reason the law exists - passed in 1993.
Life is good!

Those people are among the very few things that have ever made me question the universal validity of freedom of speech.

I'm proud to say that I have crossed several of his "picket lines" - which usually constituted only a few people outside a restaurant and a performing arts center. They had lined up outside the funeral of a service member related to a co-worker of my niece. A branch of the Patriot Guard Riders also showed up to force them further from the cemetary/funeral home.
I'm not sure how people can have such hate in their hearts.
Life is good!

Exactly - somehow, I don't think they are following WWJD.

Sorry, I'm totally lost. What group are we talking about? I tried googling "stupid group Topeka" and got nothin'. ;) Or were you referring to
Westboro baptist church? That seems to be the top thing on google for "Topeka picket funeral".
