In a move eerily reminiscent of Norman Spinrad's classic SF short
story "The Arsenal of Entropy," a draft law proposed by the Denver
Police Department would ban the possession by protesters (at this
August's Democratic National Convention) of (among other things) items
that can make urine and feces bombs.

Quoting from a Denver Post article, "Police say that such materials
are potentially dangerous. The City Council Safety Committee will
review the proposal July 23."

I'm wondering just how Denver's Finest are going to be able to make
the city safe from projectile dung.

I mean, the youth of America stand second to none in their ingenuity,
and all they would really have to do is load up on All-Bran in the
morning before taking to the streets on the fateful day.


Now, that really *is* funny -- or truly sad, considering the lack of
intelligence implicit in that regulation. Don't they know proposals like
that are more likely to give ideas to people than to prevent it??
