A ludicrous cause bordering on censorship:
Banning War Toys:
With all the problems we have with our economy, the environment, America's infrastructure, etc., why do certain people waste their time? The idea that the youthful use of war toys has anything to do with violence or aggression later in life is absolutely ridiculous. It is especially an absurd cause when the very kids they are trying to deprive of war toys can easily get ahold of a real firearm if they wanted to. While they're at trying to ban war toys, these people would probably try to ban boxing, football, karate, ice hockey, or even "The Three Stooges." (to be cont'd)
