You know what would be really great, maybe cities and states can tell us where we can and cannot live too huh?? Maybe they wil even give me one of those cool serial number tattoos and I can change my name from bryan to citizen #50394847. They will attach me to living domicile #02938 R and then they can tell me what woman to marry and procreate with too....

What ever happend to a free market? In a time of a failing economy and when commercial rentals are at their highest vacancy ever AND a defecit at the state budget is it really wise to start banning business?

This industry will NEVER go away, why not capatilize and legitimize it? This bill is a step in the wrong direction for everyone involved. Oh well, except for the tight assed closed mind conservatives who will throw a tantrum if they dont always get their way.
