:-O What the...??? That's definitely news to me. But somehow, it just doesn't
surprise me. This IS Virginia, after all-- one of the most conservative states
in the conservative South. Seems that local lawmakers have nothing better to do
than to criminalize FUN. My own city of Virginia Beach has a boardwalk on the
Atlantic Ocean, where tourists come for seasonal fun (WHY they bother to, I
don't know-- but I digress.) There are signs everywhere on the boardwalk for
beachgoers, with a long LIST of things that are forbidden-- frisbee playing,
thong bathing suits on women, etc etc etc. If any couple attempted to actually
KISS on the beach, they would probably be sentenced to 30 years in a federal
penitentiary :-P
The story mentions the city of Chesapeake; my slightly younger sister lives
there. I need to warn her!!!!
I just LOVE it when the press calls out such draconian local laws; the more
embarassment for the politicians, the better :-)
Thanks for the important update! But now, my trick-or-treat plans have been
dashed :-(

Oh, and I forgot to mention: On the beach, cops ride up and down on motorized
carts (not on the boardwalk, but on the beach itself), weaving in and among
sunbathers, to make sure that no one is imbibing FORBIDDEN alcoholic beverages.
(But local folks with any savvy already know how to 'hide' their drinks when
prying eyes are nearby, ha.)
Virginia has a state slogan-- which is quite an ironic joke, IMO: "Virginia is
for lovers." Va. Beach must have exempted itself from that philosophy. No
love-making allowed on OUR beaches!!

Imagine going through the rest of eternity knowing that Virginia proudly
advertised that you could not find a partner. Although considering the
way her father behaved. Maybe she was just considerate. ;)

I used to live in Glen Allen (just West of Richmond) - I was more a fan of "Sic
Semper Tyrannis" ;)
It was a weird state to live in.
Henrico sucked.
