HOTS
Snowloose… It’s just like Footloose (starring Kevin Bacon) except with snowballs and none of that teen angst nonsense. CBS Denver reported Dane Best, 9, recently learned that snowballs are illegal in his hometown of Severance, Colorado, because of a 98-year-old ban on “missiles.” This apparently includes snowballs because there’s no meaningful difference between a brick, a snowball, an arrow and cruise missile. Best found this law silly, but his judgment may have been clouded by his own criminal behavior. After all, he had broken the (unenforced) law before by throwing icy balls of doom at other people. So he asked his mother if he could change the law. Anyway, he presented his case to the town council on December 3 and convinced them to take steps to legalize snowballs while keeping the ban on missiles generally. HOTS applauds the young fellow’s interest in the workings of our republic, but HOTS hopes the new law doesn’t result in sledding down a slippery slope. Today it’s snowballs thrown by kids. Tomorrow it’s weapons-grade snowballs fired out of howitzers in a ceaseless conflict. |
