The whole BINGO "controversy" has been all over the media this week, including a big negative story in USA Today this morning.
Now the Alabama Supreme Court has upheld their own ruling that sex toys are against the law here.
Instead of being mad at the courts, be angry at the Legislature for failing to pass legislation correcting these boneheaded laws. It was elected officials who decided to ban gaming in the state in the first place, and it was legislators who have refused to clear the way for a lottery or BINGO or anything else. It was the legislature that first decided sex toys should be banned in the state...and since then no other representatives have had the guts to say that crosses the line into people's private personal decisions.
We are our own worst enemy.
"Trying to make some sense of it all,
ReplyDelete"But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
"Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
"'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
"Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
"Here I am, stuck in the middle with you."
