I have gone into my “New In Process” Blog Folder again. You
may remember this is where I keep unfinished Blog Ideas (some of them could officially
be classified as Harebrained but they are sitting in there anyway).
To be more precise, I decided to take a look at the oldest
one. It became the oldest one in March 2012. It was one of the 297 in there
waiting to become something.
Some of them may never come out of the Folder but this one
is today actually becoming a Foolishness…Or Is It Blog Posting and you, My Dear
Lucky Reader, are about to read it below…Or are you?
Don’t you dare think about not bothering to read on because
it is so old. Another Smartfella a long time ago said “Silliness Springs
Eternal”. (I hope I did not get that quote wrong.)
***************
In the State of Ohio Foolishness is reigning supreme.
An estranged husband has been ordered to publish on his
Facebook Page an apology every day for a month because he had previously
published mean comments about his estranged wife.
Actually the comments have been designated by the court as “Mental Abuse”, “Harassment” and “Annoying”.
Pretty serious stuff! It is hard to believe that someone would stoop so low as
to use the Internet to be Annoying.
Did I just hear you say, “What if the husband refused to comply with the court’s order?” The
Court has said, if he does not comply, he will be sent to jail for 60 days.
You Facebook People are in serious trouble! Precedent has
been set! Our Legal System is based on precedent. Here is what could be waiting
for you in your Facebooking Future...
Ø Making
Iffy Statements on Facebook will draw
30 days in jail.
Ø Making
Stupid Statements on Facebook will
draw 60 days in jail.
Ø Making
Unconscionable Statements on Facebook
will draw 90 days in jail.
If You Do the Crime, You Have to Do the Time
***************
I am not worried in the least that Foolish Statements will be sending me into jail. Not that
Foolishness is not worthy of jail time but I deactivated my Facebook Page a
long time ago.
If I had to completely fabricate topics for my blog,
it would be really hard work. Actually topics are easy to find thanks to the
good sisters of St. Anthony of Padua Grammar School. They taught me how to
read. All I do is read my newspaper each morning.
Finding Silliness is so easy because the Foolishness Will Always Be With Us. (I
can’t put my finger on why but there is something poor about that catchy
bolded phrase I just pecked out.)
Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: What
we need in the Good Ole USofA are judges who, when presented with cases like
this one, will step right up and say, "I
am not going to allow your case to be brought before me because I have other
matters to consider which are about important stuff".
Lagniappe Another:
What our Judicial System needs to do is ban the Mole Hill from our courtrooms. The Mountains are being pushed into the next calendar year while our judges
listen to impassioned pleas about Mole
Hills.
