The Banned Wagon

It can be dif­fi­cult liv­ing in a place where your per­sonal life is gov­erned by, well, just gov­erned. And by per­sonal life, I mean, things that you do in your pri­vate sphere that won’t harm other peo­ple, and by that, I mean, it fol­lows that it wouldn’t, or shouldn’t, by any means, be a crime.

Now, besides won­der­ing if that was the most tor­tured two sen­tence para­graph you’ve ever read, aren’t you also ask­ing, ‘now what made him think of some­thing like that?’?

And I’ll tell you it’s because I was talk­ing to my Amer­i­can busi­ness part­ners the other day, and they told me they read in the news that the state of Mis­souri (in the U.S., not Sungei Mis­souri in Kelan­tan or some­thing), had just banned sex toys. You can­not buy a dildo there.

But as my Amer­i­can part­ners told me, you can buy a gun there. You know? Things that shoot bul­lets that kill peo­ple, but that you can buy to pro­tect your­selves with?

I couldn’t find any arti­cle regard­ing the Mis­souri Sex Toy Ban, but found this instead:

Ten­nessee Repub­li­can Eric H. Swaf­ford has a new bill to ban all dil­dos and to make sex toy pos­ses­sion a crime:

Please, e-mail him to sup­port this much needed law, before we all go blind: rep.eric.swafford@legislature.state.tn.us

Then, lets get on the phone to Sen. Crow­ell and Rep. Sater and get them on board with this. Tell them it is about “moral val­ues” and putting the smack down on Satan.

Man, I’ll tell ya, I’m sure glad we live in this fair and free city, where we can buy all man­ner of sex toys with­out fear of prosecution.

Surf stop: I’ve started a new cat­e­gory called ‘The Banned Wagon’, talk­ing about all things pro­hib­ited.
