But while I am certainly curious about the legal ground from a hypothetical standpoint, the "winky" at the end of my post was meant to suggest that my tongue was quite firmly in my cheek.
I guess your "winky" didn't get the job done, because several people took you seriously in their replies and even agreed with your absurd premise. In addition, you admit you are curious about the legal ground for this, it's very simple and I'll save you time ... THERE's NO BASIS FOR IT.
The fact that you were taken seriously and had people praising the idea is indeed a sad commentary on our society.
