The people of Middleborough, Massachusetts voted in 2012 to ban swearing in public in their town, setting the punishment at a $20 fine.

Though done democratically, this decision was to put it frankly, damn stupid. Unfortunately it put the residents of Middleborough in a sticky situation.

Should they obey the law or risk the fine? I believe they should say to hell with the fine and speak how they want.
Whether it’s a comedic banning of dancing or swearing, localities and states are passing many stupid laws around the country.

While it may seem silly, many of these laws are enforced, and libertarians in office can focus on getting these laws off the books.
