<p>Religion has been the most controversial topic across all of mankind&#8217;s history. There are so many varying views on all the deities that whole wars have been fought over and for them. This law is doing its best to try and lower the amount of religious  confrontations as much as possible. In Mississippi, it is against the law to disturb any assembly of people that have met for religious worship.</p>
<p>The real kicker here is that any private citizen can then arrest, without a warrant, the disturber and take them before a judge where they can be fined up to $500 and/or imprisoned no more than 6 months. Wow, I guess some weird stuff has gone on in Mississippi for people to have been jailed for 6 months. They must take their worhsip REALLY seriously. All I&#8217;ve got to say is more power to &#8216;em. Yay for citizen&#8217;s arrest!</p>

<p>&#8220;Arrest that elephant!&#8221;</p>
<p>We all know that if you take your dog for a walk in most places, they need to be on a leash, fair enough. In San Francisco, however, those laws look like little panzy girls. Evidentely, you can not walk your elephant down Market Street in San Fran unless they are on a leash.</p>
<p>This could be because they have parades there often or something like that but it&#8217;s I think it&#8217;s a little ridiculous to expect someone to have any semblence of control over a elephant with just a leash. Really, it must be pretty hard to enforce such a law. It&#8217;s not as if a police officer is going to come up to the elephant and handcuff him. &#8220;That&#8217;s is, Dumbo, we&#8217;re <a class="zem_slink" title="Going Downtown: The War Against Hanoi and Washington" rel="amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/Going-Downtown-Against-Hanoi-Washington/dp/0517567385%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dmathli-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0517567385">going downtown</a>. Now get in the Crown Vic.&#8221;</p>
<p>Does this law only apply to Market Street, meaning that you can take your elephant other places without a leash? Whatever the case, the fact that this law even has to exist is unorthodox enough to be considered stupid.</p>
