Emergency. I need your help.
I just watched Ben Stein's cockumentary in its entirety and am feeling woozy from rage. If anyone has articles, videos, or any other media relevant to an interesting topic in science, please post them here. I need to push every second of that horrible spectacle out of my head. Peer-reviewed papers welcomed.
I do recommend watching it though. It's important to see what people can get away with saying nowadays. Especially about something like this.
Thanks in advance.

Signature ? How ?
Whoa! You watched Ben Stein and you want science?
You don't deserve science. What you deserve in the new law we have in the great state of Connecticut. HB 6552, in case you want to google it.
In the wake of the chimp that tore the woman's face off, we have passed a bill banning wild animals. It specifically lists:
If I am reading this correctly, then all cats and dogs are now illegal in Connecticut. On the other hand, chimps are exempted from the general prohibition.
Going further, what is an animal? My definition would be that which has a preference for oxygen vs carbon dioxide. Since the city of Stamford is a corporation, they are a legal entity and may not keep dangerous animals. I can't see how that fails to include the police officer who shot the damned chimp in the first place.

Ken- Thank you very much, that'll keep me occupied for hours.
AIGS- Has anyone raised those points to the state legislature of the great state of Connecticut yet? hahaha

Try thunderf00t's channel, I like his videos.
P.S. I would watch it, but I am afraid of the consequences.

Actually, I reread the bill text and it turns out that there is a loophole for cats but only if they are Bengals (which is a hybrid of domestic cat and Asian snow leopard). So apparently, you can have a cat but only if it is huge and half wild in the first place. Actually, I had a Bengal for 18 years and they are hands down one of the most affectionate varieties of cat that one can have. Even so, they are half wild and they will attack strangers if they perceive a threat to their humans.
Also chimps are covered under this bit of dreck legislation. But only because they also outlawed hominids. Hominids are illegal in CT? That makes me wonder if Governor Rell even read the bill or had someone who knows that humans are hominids look it over first.
As far as raccoons and rats, the bill is silent but birds are outlawed as well as fish. That and it is illegal to go hunting on the internet. I was not aware of remote controlled guns but the bill specifies that they are illegal as well. Since Africa is not part of CT, I don't begin to know how they are claiming jurisdiction, nor had I even heard of internet hunting before but apparently, it is possible.

Wtf to everything you just said. You're joking, right?
I guess it's kinda funny in a pitiful way.
"Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, show me the steep and thorny way to heaven. Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, himself the primrose path of dalliance treads. And recks not his own rede."
No, I am not joking. Here is the actual text of what is now Public Act 09-198:

Wow. You weren't joking.
So basically you can be removed from your house and disposed of at any time. How very fascist.
