Those Crazy Arizona Laws

I'm just perplexed about how those in authority come up with the laws that they say we have to obey (Even though most don't even obey them themselves. Those hypocrites!). As I showed in a recent post speeding, in and of itself, is not as dangerous as the authorities would have you believe with all of their propaganda. I argue that the majority of laws are not even needed to run a peaceful society. In fact, it's been done before (I'll get to that in a later post). But from a website, called Dumb Laws, they list many absurd "laws" that were made up for who knows what reasons. Many of these are so stupid I can't imagine how they came up with some of these.

Some of the laws they list for Arizona are as follows (which may or may not still be on the books):

1. Any misdemeanor committed while wearing a red mask is considered a felony.
2. Cards may not be played in the street with a Native American.
3. Donkeys cannot sleep in bathtubs.
4. (Hayden) If you bother the cottontails or bullfrogs, you will be fined.
5. No one is permitted to ride their horse up the stairs of the county court house.
6. An ordinance prohibits the wearing of suspenders.
7. It is illegal for men and women over the age of 18 to have less than one missing tooth visible when smiling.
8. It is unlawful to refuse a person a glass of water.
9. (Maricopa County) No more than six girls may live in any house.
10. (Mesa) It is illegal to smoke cigarettes within 15 feet of a public place unless you have a Class 12 liqueur license.
11. (Tucson) Women may not wear pants.
12. You may not have more than two dildos in a house (This one comes in at #2 for my favorite stupid law).
13. There is a possible 25 years in prison for cutting down a cactus.
14. A decree declares that anyone caught stealing soap must wash himself with it until it is all used up.
15. Hunting camels is prohibited.

And finally my favorite one!

16. When being attacked by a criminal or burglar, you may only protect yourself with the same weapon that the other person possesses.



Can anyone please explain to me how in the world these laws came about, and why? Were these people out in the sun too long?

These laws, and the majority of all others, are not needed and simply exist to aid in filling the pockets of the state!!!

As I've tried to show with my Tyranny of the State posts, the government exists simply to feed itself by taxing, criminalizing harmless acts, and controlling individuals. Maybe one day many of our modern-day laws will be found in a list of "Crazy Laws," and people will look back at how stupid the law makers were, and how stupid all of us were for not standing up to their tyranny.
