Cat declawing is now illegal in West Hollywood. An ordinance against it has been upheld by a state appeals court. Cat declawing was sited as a “cruel and unusual procedure”, and veterinarians in West Hollywood face possible criminal charges if they perform the surgery.

So the Cat Lady is safe there on so many levels.

On Wednesday, the Washington state House passed a law by a 59-38 vote stating that residents are no longer allowed to use hand-held cell phones while driving.

To keep manufacturers happy, the Japanese government has passed a bill making all electronic goods sold before 2001 illegal on the second hand market. The government's excuse for the new ruling are security reasons. Who's security? Consumer's or management's?

The most tragic thing about the recent wave of political correctness is that people who stick up for themselves and the basic rights of man end up being tarred with the same brush as the sometimes despicable people who are scapegoated as the reason for the loss of rights. Take this story for example. Criminal memoirs to be outlawed - Scotland's justice minister says plans to ban memoirs written by convicted criminals are being drawn up. [BBC News] On the face of it, it is easy enough to nod your head and say 'fair enough too, they shouldn't profit from crime'. What happened to the concept of rehabilitation though? If a man does something wrong, gets caught and goes to gaol, so long as he finishes his sentence, surely he is somewhat entitled to consider that he has paid the debt to society? read more
