The Stupidity Report for Aug 18, 2006

Local government is always looking out for the best interests of their populous... considering we the taxpayers need these elected officials to babysit us.

Case in point:

Las Vegas, Nevada


People sleep in the shade Thursday at Frank Wright Plaza near Las Vegas City Hall. A ban on public urination and defecation approved Wednesday by the City Council also makes it illegal to sleep within 500 feet of urine or feces, but that provision won't be enforced.

I guess the rampant sleeping in body waste had become epidemic to the point where it was dangerous to public safety.

But really, what message are they sending when they announce that a provision of the law will not be enforced???

To sleep in waste or to not sleep in waste? What about sleeping in excrement within the confines of your own home?? The law doesn't distinguish foriegn waste from your own. This law is a mess since it doesn't even address the infant issue, or adult homes. What if you were on a bender, you pass out and soil yourself?

If this law is to be....I don't think it goes nearly far enough.

Hey, it's Las Vegas. What happens there, stays there. You might have also heard that the city recently made it illegal to feed the homeless, which really sucks because it's often more entertaining than Carrot Top's latest show on the Strip.
