Hammurabi's Code in Vegas?
"Thursday November 3, 2005 8:31 PM
RENO, Nev. (AP) - Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman has suggested that those who deface freeways with graffiti should have their thumbs cut off on television....`You know, we have a beautiful highway landscaping redevelopment in our downtown. We have desert tortoises and beautiful paintings of flora and fauna. These punks come along and deface it.'"
LV does, indeed, have beautiful highway landscaping -- paving, too -- which allows cars to travel in excess of 90 MPH wihtout hesitation, within mere feet of "The Strip." Yet withal, severing thumbs sounds like an extreme measure. Perhaps Mayor Goodman can take a lesson from Long Island highway authorities, whose latest warning sign campaign reads something like, "Don't Litter: it wastes 1.2 million of your tax dollars per year." Before you sever their digits, try merely hitting 'em where it hurts: in the wallet!
