Truck “decorations” in Maryland.

March 4, 2007

The low down on the raging debate on truck “decorations” in Maryland.

I guess I have avoided this topic because of the lack of a tactful manner in which it can be treated.

“Soundtrack” is not really set up to be the place to discuss such issues, but if ya really – really wanna read two great posts on the raging debate on truck “decorations” in Maryland – the place to go is Crablaw and the Pillage Idiot.

For those who are not aware of this pressing concern, Attila writes, “A state delegate from Allegany County, Leroy E. Myers Jr., has introduced a bill that would prohibit…”

Crablaw helps us find the legislation: “Delegate LeRoy Myers' House Bill 1163…”

What might even be funnier is that the ACLU has deemed it necessary to weigh-in with their opinion…

And OMG - - Reading Crablaw’s ponderings upon a hypothetical cross-examination is a hoot. Of course, one can only imagine that there would be a “legal definition” of the offending “decorations” and that might be the fodder for humor for decades… Where were you Daddy when Maryland struck a blow for civility, taste and the future of the planet?

And he’s only getting warmed-up. The rest of his post is a keeper…

Warning – do not read either post with your mouth full of say, Dr. Pepper…

If Maryland begins to outlaw poor taste, there is no end to where this nanny-state can go.

If you wanna smile – go immediately to here – and here.
