for goodness sake

First - brrrrrrrrrr - minus a billion continues...

Second - is government stupid?  (ok - stop shouting yes) Why does government like to work on projects that are absolutely useless - why isn't more time spent on attending to the needs of important issues.  When you think of Los Angeles - and granted - I'm pretty far removed from LA - I think of pollution issues, I think of drug and alcohol, homelessness, Hollywood, film making, gangs - plenty of things to keep politicians busy... but what is being worked on right now... and I have to thank my buddy Matt for telling me about this...

They have got a motion in place that requires... hold on... you might need to sit down so you don't fall down when you start laughing...

That Actors in adult movies will be required to wear condoms under an ordinance granted final approval yesterday in LA.

Why do they need to care...

Here's the logic...

That while major porn film companies test their employees every 30 days, that that simply isn't enough and they are trying to protect (literally) the workers.  That this measure will reduce the many cases of HIV reported in the film industry - point of fact - the last case noted by major industry was in 2004.

Ok - so stop working on some bull shit non-issue - and who the hell is going to police that - is this some stupid employment plan - 'good morning evil angel productions, because of our new bylaw you are also required to have a rubber checker employee at every production, the employee will need to pass out rubbers and also make sure that the rubber is a secure position throughout the entire filming period - while this will cost you more money we don't care because you make gobs of money from all the porn lovers in the world and since we can't tax you more we are going to make you help our city and state by forcing you to employ more people'

GARBAGE!

Get back to work! If this is your top priority you must be the best city in the world and since you aren't - then you should really get your heads out of your asses and get back to issues that matter to the tax payers!

And for me - well this issue makes me think of plenty of other counter intuitive measures and issues that have come up over the years and hope that all politicians will look to this one example and say - hey maybe we should pick five priority projects and solve those problems - and then work on the next five and the next five and once we get to utopia we can start chasing the issue of porn employees not wrapping their junk with a trojan.


We must be the change!  We must be the positive change!
