This BBC article and this one would have me laugh if it wasn't so sad and dire. Of course Mr Blair backs the idea. Anything to gain full control of every single individual. Turn them all into sheep, and start as early as possible. Women are only capable of conceiving the child, but entirely incapable of bringing up their offspring. For that, we have the government, all powerful, all omniscient, and evidently multi-talented, seeing they know what's best for everyone.

So, we'll have unruly parents being forced to sing nursery rhymes to their children, and please ensure it's all sung in the G-scale because C might encourage their brains to do some thinking, and we can't have that. In eighteen years, then, we'll have an entire generation of sheep. These sheep will have no choice but to turn to the government to choose a husband or wife for them because, let's face it, using one's brain and displaying individuality are highly discouraged and frowned upon to the extent that it might end you up in boot-camp. And this will be when the government will provide the solution: The Marriage Act.

Harrumph. The one positive thing I can see in this is that through this programme, British children are receiving pre-school music education. All my other thoughts are like yorus. Children around the world are dying of starvation and preventable disease, and the Brits are worried that their kiddies won't know such classics of the bubonic plague as "Ring Around the Rosy," or receive early indoctrination to sexual intimidation via Georgey Porgey Puddin' n' Pie.

Still, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy to know that our government in the US hasn't yet cornered the market on ridiculous public policy to distract from the serious problems.

Marraige Law Ahoy!

Er, no. Because the British Government will never aspire to the collective idiocy of the WIKTT mailing list. :D There are brainier broad beans out there, than that lot.

Well at least there is plenty of fiction to provide examples for a draconian marriage law. ;)
