Senate Bill 391 -- if you don't already own an alligator, the Oregon House says it will be illegal
The Oregonian --
In addition alligators, the Oregon House which is always good for a good laugh, passed on Wednesday Senate Bill 391 which would make owning crocodiles, lions and tigers including monkeys [House and Senate excluded] as a pet will become illegal.
The bill passed 43-15 and is waiting Senate approval of an amendment before heading to the governor's desk.
however,If you're ready own a crocodile, alligator, lion, tiger or monkey, you can relax because the bill will only prevent you from getting new ones.
er, never mind!

Hey, did you hear the one about the Oregon Legislature outlawing "novelty lighters"?
See, if you have a lighter in the shape of the TransAmerica building, children will be forced to burn your house down. The solution was simple. Simply outlaw the lighter. (Still no word on novelty matches. But a special session is scheduled for six months down the road...mebbe novelty matches will be dealt with then.)
Hold on to your hats! It's going to be a bumpy ride!
.
How did we ever make it to the 21st century?
Kids used to hunt for food, use matches to light the only lights available, use large farm equipment and most did it okay.
So what happened?
but you know just like the lighter novelty thing, reminds me what a comedian said about cartoon cencorship...
"I grew up with Yogi bear, and I never had the urge to steal picnic baskets or drop giant boulders on someone"
is short, give kids a chance and you might find that they are smarter then some folks give them credit for.
