Trying to pretend that the law doesn't exist, prior to its repeal, just makes you look stupid, and puts you in the same category as Paris Hilton, who several months ago drove with a suspended driver's license, at 75MPH in a 30MPH zone, and in the dark with her headlights off, all at the same time.  She, too, stupidly tried to pretend that unrepealed laws did not exist.

So Rosa Parks is in the same category as Paris Hilton?  "'Dem uppity
negros shoulda stayed at da back o' da bus?"  Some laws are just bad
laws.

I totally agree with you, however, on the voodoo economics.
