Don't They Have Anything Better to Do?

posted Thursday, 1 May 2008

When I think I've heard everything when it comes to certain politicians wanting to turn this country into a Nanny state, I hear something new to prove me wrong.

Lawmakers in the Florida Senate have proposed a measure that would ban fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of some trucks and cars.

Republican Sen. Cary Bake called the adornments offensive and proposed the ban. Motorists would be fined $60 for displaying the novelty items, which are known by brand names like "Truck Nutz".

Are you kidding me? Are these legislators bored and have nothing more important to devote their attention to? Are we paying them to outlaw tacky trucks? Don't they think that the police have enough...and indeed, too many...laws to enforce already?

Personally, I've never seen a set of "Truck Nutz", But one of the female police officers I worked with had a set of fake boobs attached to the grille on the front of her personal car and I thought that was pretty funny. I'm guessing if she'd lived in Florida, these busybodies would want to ban those, too.

And though the truck owners who have these things hanging from their trucks are no doubt micro-penised weenies trying to compensate, it's a free country and if that's how they want to express themselves, they should have the right to do so.

Is it any wonder that our government is going down the tubes?

I thought those were only here in Colorado, from the bottom of 4 X 4's. When driving mountain trails, the "balls" drag the ground leaving an interesting set of "tracks."

Crude and crass? Yes. Appropriate? No. Worthy of a law to ban them? HELL NO. Our balls make us what we are; if we have no balls, we develop female. If we have balls, but our bodies don't recognize androgens, we develop female.

Wow, typing this out helped me figure out my opposition. This person who wants to save everyone from seeing some balls is just taking another step in castrating the American male.

I don't get it why anyone would want cajones hanging from the back of their truck anyhow? What's the point? But then, I don't see the point why any government would waste their time "banning" such a thing.

Stupid all around.
