MattG, to add to your cool idea, police could ticket people over 18 for “contributing to the delinquency of a minor” for cussing in front of a child. Woohoo! More revenue!

I also found it interesting that the WFTV web site places links and ads to stop smoking orgs. on the same page as anti-smoking story.

How about a ban on cussing? That’s not something kids should do. $1,000 for the first offense, double the fines for every subsequent offense, harsher penalties the younger the kids are who overheard you. The government could start a program to reward kids for ratting out their parents when they cuss.

This will solve the scourge of cussing! Fuck yeah!

Oops! I mean “heck yeah!”

If I had kids, I would probably teach them not to smoke. But I’d also try to teach them not to grow up to be pissant, podunk, power-hungry small town city council members.

But how can I do that when every time I take them out in public, people like John Jackson might be around, needlessly exposing my vulnerable children to secondhand, small-town fascism?

More fundamentally, how could you teach your kids that while at the same time affirming that collective welfare trumps individual rights?

“Daddy? What’s the difference in principle betweem minarchy and maxarchy?”
