I agree. heh anal sex is illegal in Maryland also (other states too?). I
would say by far the best example of this would be that it is actually
indeed illegal for 2 people to live under the same estate without a
marriage license.. learned it in civics class (well it was
do-the-homework-for-the-wannabe-lawyer class, but still). look how many
ppl live together and have babies without being married and everyone
knows.
I too think this is proposterous and most likely won't be enforced.
