FL GOPer: Repeal ban on dwarf tossing

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/10/06/14113378...

News that a Florida legislator wants to bring back the banned activity of "dwarf tossing" has people shaking their heads, and wondering why in the world you would want to do something like that. Of course, they're also curious as to whether he'll succeed.

State Rep. Ritch Workman, a Republican from Melbourne, is the man behind the effort to roll back the prohibition on an act that became a sensation in bars and taverns before it was banned in 1989. Workman tells the Palm Beach Post's Frank Cerabino about his motives:

"I'm on a quest to seek and destroy unnecessary burdens on the freedom and liberties of people," Workman said. "This is an example of Big Brother government.

"All that it does is prevent some dwarfs from getting jobs they would be happy to get," Workman said. "In this economy, or any economy, why would we want to prevent people from getting gainful employment?"

1. Bring it back, I'll go first. I'm 6'6" and I'm assuming Rep Workman is shorter...

Making him a little person to me.

Instead of taking place in a bar, I'll grab and toss him down the steps of the Capitol in Tallahassee

2. Legislator tossing - guaranteed hit in any bar in the country!

Workman, Boehner, Cantor put you ass where your mouths are!

Spout your love of liberty as you fly over the heads of inebriated out of work construction workers.

They will be happy to pick you up and help you back whence you came.

4. does he support legalizing prostitution, too?

After all, these laws against prostitution only prevent some women from getting jobs they would be happy to get. Why would we want to prevent people from getting gainful employment?
