Is it just me or are legislators and government officials all nuts.

While they're at it, why not just criminalize the use of ANYTHING that could be used for less than honest purposes...

Let's start with any programming language that is used to write the tools that are available to the bad guys. hmmm... that would potentially be all of them... so we may as well just ban computers in general... and cell phones, PDAs and anything with microchips... There goes my new toaster... Can't let the bad guys get my toast.

But... wait there's more. Why not ban anything that could lead to the knowledge of how to do this crap in the first place? TV and radio are gone because of the whole microchip thing. Burn the books and close the schools. That way the kids don't learn about technology that may lead to tools that might be used by bad people for possibly malicious puproses...

And just to make sure that no one ever learns about it again, let's "silence" all programmers, scientists, researchers, teachers, librarians, hobbyists, and anyone who's ever operated a computer or even entered a Radio Shack.

I'm still not sure why vehicles are allowed on the road considering all the contraband and stolen possessions they could be used to transport. Coat hangers, hair pins, and any sharp tool. Instuments of evil, all of them.

Next up: Legislating the use of whatever part of the brain is the basis for the formation of new thoughts and notions.
