Customary historic use? So do you have to resort to 8-tracks or records? This stuff is just getting way out of hand.

Ok who's supplying the pitchforks? I think we'll have the torches covered. Seriously, these laws are getting beyond insane. The congressmen and senators who put these things forward can't have a clue what they're signing. So given that theory, they are either simply stupid, or taking their weight in bribes for this junk. I'd have to vote for the second option sadly.

This is why it's important to let our voices heard now and not later, write your Senator and Congressmen that this type of legislation will get them voted out of office it it's approved. I know I will be writing (emailing) my reprenstatives about this absurd legislation. Don't Let Them win!!!!!
