Texas Personal Injury Attorney
Q: how will the Indecency Law provisions of the new Telecommunications Act affect your online behavior? In particular I'm interested in how those who post to sexually-oriented newsgroups plan to react. Last I heard, it is illegal to sell or possess a dildo in the state of Texas. True?
A: If there is, someone forgot to tell the merchants in Montrose. We have lots of wacky laws in Texas that idio culturally-challenged gentlepersons in other regions continually throw up, like the one about not tying up your horse downtown on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the one about being fined for not using a spitoon on a public street. Nobody enforces these laws and they mainly persist because tearing them down would create more of a stink in the press than quietly ignoring them. Which is what we do. Until the culturally-challenged denizens of Usenet who have no life bring them back up. Don't even start on me with the story about the guy wearing the Unix devil T-Shirt.
