IDIOT LUNACY AS USUAL BUT YA HAVE TO LAUGH

 

1. I don’t know whether I should be amused or worried. I have taught stage combat more than once, and more than once used live steel swords, fully capable of killing someone, on stage.
   I find it more than a little disturbing that nowadays I could be arrested for failing to put a lock and an all-night armed guard on the props cabinet.

   Sheesh.

2. Don’t forget, this is in Britain.  Pretty soon, I expect that it will be illegal to have a set of gonads, functional or otherwise.  A while back, I remember they were talking about regulating the size of kitchen and carving knives.  After all, why do you really need a knife more than 3 or 4 inches long?  Hmmmmmmmm? 

   It seems to me that there is a segment of British society that positively pee themselves at the thought of any honest citizen possessing anything that could conceivably be used as a weapon.  It doesn’t seem to bother them at all that they are bringing Stanley Kubrick’s dystopia, to life.  It doesn’t seem to bother them that their best efforts have neutered and hamstrung the honest folks while virtually encouraging violent and well armed street gangs.

3. Um… not *virtually* encouraging, ACTUALLY encouraging.
