Welcome to Dumb Laws
We're launching a new blog series today that is plainly, but appropriately, called, Dumb Laws.
Sure, a lot of laws are dumb, but we want to showcase the dumber than dumb laws. The dumbness of which you previously didn't think was possible. There are fun websites out there that chronicle dumb laws from decades ago. Like in Culpepper, Virginia, you can't wash a mule on the sidewalk.
But we want to highlight contemporary dumbitude. We have evolved as a society through the years, but dumbness still lingers, especially when laws are being enacted. Our goal for this new blog is to clamp down on the dumbivity that pervades our country. Every time a dumb law is enacted, or even proposed, one more lobbyist is emboldened. One more page is added to the law books. And one more politician gains confidence in subjecting the masses to even more dumbifying dumbness. To the point where we eventually become an Idiocracy.
Right now, we have filled the new blog with a healthy smattering of dumb laws, with the hopes that you, dear blog reader, will help us find more. What qualifies as a dumb law? There's no laundry list of strict qualifications, but it has to be recent. And it doesn't have to necessarily be a law. It can be a proposal that some politician has concocted, which, if enacted, would be a celebrity dumb law in Dummywood. We would also like the dumbness to have an economic effect. So even though this is a dumb idea, it wouldn't qualify for the blog. And feel free to submit dumb laws from the city, state, or federal level. We even have a category for foreign dumb laws. Nowhere are politicians safe!
So, go to Dumb Laws now, but don't stay there too long. It's a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.
