Yesterday, as I was hanging Grandpa’s incontinence diapers on the clothesline (because I’m eco-friendly like that), I was contemplating the government’s reactionary policy.
For example, we know that cell phone usage in our cars has been outlawed only because many people have died as a result of distracted people taking to the road. I can only assume that the California’s recent ban on text messaging was also due to a large number of deaths (I didn’t actually look it up, so can you Google it or something and get back to me on that?)
Unlike the government, I can see a trend here and predict that the next phone-related legislation will involve mobile photography.
That’s right – sooner or later, drive-by shooting will be illegal.
Once that happens, pictures like this one I took for last July’s post, Motorcycle Diary of a Madman will be a fine-able, if not arrestable, offense:
In other words, it will be okay to drive without your feet, but not your hands.
I take pride, and often risk my life bringing my life in pictures to you, and soon the government will be taking that away from me. No longer, will I be able to reach under the car seat to find my cell phone to capture photos such as that pink mustang last December in my post entitled, It’s My Blog and I’ll Cry if I Want To.
And I can’t begin to tell you the near death experience I experienced one very hot day while snagging this picture of my dashboard for last summer’s post entitled Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorched:
The thing is, if someone like me can foresee this trend of continuous banning of our American freedoms, and someone like you can see it, surely the government knows that driving under the influence (of photographic inspiration) is inevitable, so why not just do it already?
I mean, how many senseless deaths must occur before our elected officials finally decide to crack down on this dangerous behavior that could potentially kill countless people? Have they no decency? Have they no sense of shame?
Should I organize a Camera Bag Party in protest of the heel-dragging that is the apathy of our lawmakers? Of course, we’ll have to come up with a euphemistic definition for “camera bagging”. Can you get back to me on that one too?
For the latest in goat shoes and fun fur hot goats pants, you must hit the Vera Wang of goat fashion online stores. Of the millions of websites offering high-end fashion for Nannies and Billies, no one beats Goats Online. Seriously, can you name a better store? Don’t miss out on their annual 4 for 1 sale!
I was featured on Five Star Friday last week – woo hoo! Thank you to Schmutzie, who runs Five Star Friday, and whoever else may have been responsible for submitting one of my blog posts. Five Star Friday mentioned my post entitled The Hawaii They Don’t Want You to Know About.
The lawyers are in currently in negotiations, although it looks like Wink will be able to go home. Eventually.
Decorum dictates that I hold off on providing any more details than that at the moment.
