Underground Lobster Fights

Early morning writing.  Mmmmm.  So are you in jail yet?  Surely you did something against the law today or yesterday, or every day.  Home of the free we are not and I am wondering how long it will be until my writing this blog becomes illegal.  Five years?  Five minutes?  You know how, when you're pumping gas and the little tab that holds down the pump "trigger" is broken, how much that sucks?  Some people silently just suffer and stand there, hand on the pump the whole time, while other do it yourself people, or problem solvers, find something in their car to wedge in between so the pump stays running.  Especially in the bitter cold, standing there is not pleasant.  Well yesterday I read a sign on the gas pump that said it was now illegal to wedge something in there.  Ok, talk about a victim-less crime.  Unless you are a complete idiot, I don't see how this works.  When did this "law" pass by the way?  Does anyone know?  Was it a part of that new defense bill that basically designates all of us Americans guilty until proven innocent if they even feel like giving you the chance to prove your innocence.  I can see how wedging maybe a Zippo refill bottle in there would be dangerous, or any other substance that happens to be contained under pressure or flammable.  But really do they make masses of people that dumb now that it needs to be a law?  Furthermore, if said people are that dumb do you think they are going to be able to read that sign, or if they can, even care enough about the legality of  the act to refrain from it?  That would be like making jumping off your riding lawn mower while it was in gear illegal.  Yes it is dumb and unsafe but hello natural selection!  People like that are supposed to be thinned out.  It is nature's way.  They aren't supposed to be so scared of going to jail that they fail to follow nature's order.  These people need to stop breeding and making little rubes.  Seriously, this has to stop.  Our country jails its own people more than ANY other country in the world.  At least there is one statistic for me to lean on.  Out of time, I will be back later today.
