Perhaps there are other ways to decorate trailers?
More NEEDLESS regulation is sprouting, this time from Virginia.
"State Del. Lionel Spruill introduced a bill Tuesday to ban displaying replicas of human genitalia on vehicles, calling it a safety issue because it could distract other drivers."
Actually, this is a lie. Spruill even admits the reason is moral: "He said the idea came from a constituent whose young daughter spotted an example of the trail hitch adornment and asked her father to explain it.
"'I didn't know what to tell her,"' Spruill said the constituent told him before Spruill vowed to stop such displays."
I'm sure the Founders didn't envision this when they discussed freedom. While tacky, displays like this shouldn't be outlawed. What this delegate is proposing is just more frivolous regulation stuffed into the books.

Do your fellow Republicanites know you are posting against a law that bans genitillia on automobiles? That seems like an issue most Republicans would disagree with you on.

The issue isn't the genitalia. That's probably not part of the official platform.
The issue is the needless regulation imposed by legislators who believe that it's their duty to crusade for morality rather than govern efficiently and effectively.
