Back from the People's Republic of New Jersey. It was a great vacation. One thing I noticed about New Jersey is that Jersey likes to post signs about everything you can't do. When you enter the Garden State Parkway there are signs every 100 feet detailing everything that is illegal. There are signs everywhere.
Now New Jersey is cracking down on fireworks. Fireworks that New Jersians can legally buy in Pennsylvania, but cannot transport back home. My favorite line comes later in the article.
Sen. Peter Inverso, R-Mercer, the bill sponsor, said the measure sends this message to Pennsylvania retailers: "We care about the safety of all of our residents, the children you are targeting for the sale of fireworks and you should not take advantage of them.
The Children? That is typical asshole hyperbole. Whenever the Government wants you to stop doing something IT deems as bad for you they bring in the "children" arguement.
