The Sad State of Virginia

Well, it's finally happened. Virginia has finally made me question it. I now live in a state that has done something more idiotic than elect the Terminator to a top political office. I now live in a state where if the Senate is as stupid as the House, I would have to pay a $50 fine for having my underwear showing. I had heard the story at work this week, but read about it, of all places, on AOL. I read the story and couldn't help but shake my head. I mean a fine, for showing your underwear. The state legislature is calling it a "lewd act," which means they are aroused by seeing a girls thong showing, but are at so old they don't know what do to with it. That was mean. I'm sorry. Sorta.
If this law passes, I propose that everybody in the state of Virginia drop their pants. Let the cops give out fines to all of us. That'll show 'em. Yeah, I didn't buy that either. Well, if it does pass I can't imagine it will last for very long, laws like that have a way of being overturned in courts, but it will go down in the history books as one of the dumber laws in Virginia, like the fact that during sexual intercourse the woman can only be on top if there is a witness. Actually...I kinda like that one.

You think that's sick. Check this out. Old Dominion at its best... repression and discrimination seem to be all the fad.

An update on my own post. The Virginia State Senate actually defeated the proposal to set fines for seeing a persons underwear. Good to know that there are a few intelligent people left in politics.
