Arizona Attempts To Make Trolling Illegal

LordofEntropy writes "Though unlikely to pass any First Amendment test. Arizona's Gov. Jan Brewer has a bill on her desk that would in essence make 'trolling' illegal. The law states 'It is unlawful for any person, with intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend, to use any electronic or digital device and use any obscene, lewd or profane language or suggest any lewd or lascivious act, or threaten to inflict physical harm to the person or property of any person.'" This did indeed manage to pass through both houses of legislature and only needs a signature to become law.

I pick fruit off my own tree.

I mow my own lawn with a push reel mower.

I prefer the buffet anyways, happy to serve myself, but I cook for myself and family anyways every other day.

Now get off my desert. Liberal scum. Go pay more taxes while yer at it.

We do pay more taxes, as it happens. I would think as a resident of a state which pays less federal tax than it takes in federal money, you'd be a little less spiteful.
