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.

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.

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".
