Nofunland

First in a semi-regular series.

Nofunland is a term I came up with to describe the general atmosphere of America (but can be found in many other countries as well). In America we seem to be on a constant quest to take the fun out of living.
Periodically I will be posting examples of life in Nofunland. Today I start with this case-in-point:

Woman cited for cursing at toilet

A Pennsylvania woman found that her toilet had stopped up and water was overflowing and leaking downstairs into the kitchen of her home. Understandably, she was upset and began yelling and cursing at her toilet near an open window. Her neighbor, a police officer, upset by the noise, called the police.

Now, we do not know the exact details of why the neighbor felt it necessary to call the cops, but we do know that the woman was cited for disorderly conduct which has a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail and a $500 fine. We also know that she was inside her home and not drunk. Where does disorderly conduct come into play? No where. We simply have an instance of a police officer (who was off-duty) overstepping his authority and using his position to get what he wants, and being supported by other police officers that should know better. Seems like there is a lot of that these days.
