Hooray for Mayor Bunten

Postby ozzy72 » Sat Dec 31, 2005 7:32 am

A Kansas mayor has said he will repeal a "dumb" city regulation banning the throwing of snowballs - shortly after inadvertently breaking it himself.
Bill Bunten, mayor of Kansas' capital, Topeka, found out about the rule after a high school student wrote to him.
He replied confessing he had recently hurled a snowball himself, and said he would ask for the law to be revised.
Under the code, anyone caught throwing a snowball in public can be fined up to $499 (

That's fine providing the said snowballs don't conceal rocks aimed at me, my car or the windows of my home. There's a lot of strange people out there these days. ::) ;)

I think there's a big difference between throwing snow balls at trees, kids having an innocent snow ball fight, or someone who harasses the public by throwing snowballs at random people.

How can you put both of these groups in the same category?
