Methinks someone jumped the April Fool's gun. Heck, it's not even April 1st
over here in Europe yet! When was the last time lawmakers moved that fast,
passing a bill one day and enacting it the next? Not even on their
payraises do they move that fast!!!<grin>

Get a load of this! Could this bit of "Big Brother" watching over us

=======================================================
Mini is illegal in New York State This was in todays paper:
Albany, New York:
An amendment attached to a highway spending bill passed by the New York
State
Assembly today bans the Mini Cooper from New York state highways. State
assemblyman Robert Smolaski (R 39th district) was quoted today b the era of
small car is over in New York. These cars are too small and have become a
hazard to the majority of vehicles on our roads.b The new law is a result
of
and incident involving his 2003 Cadillac Escalade and a yellow Mini Cooper
with a happy face in the rear window on the New York State Thruway near
Buffalo.
The new law bans the sale or use of the Mini on all New York State roads.
All
mini dealers have been closed and if a Mini is spotted on the road the car
will be impounded and the driver jailed. The law also includes out of state
drivers.
The new law is scheduled to take effect on April 1, 2003
