Door to Door

There are a number of really pathetic things worth noting in this here blog. For one thing, I just read this article about a law that's supposed to lower the risk of sexual predators being active in suburban areas in America. Megan's Law, it's called. According to this law, when a convicted sexual predator is released from prison, it is mandatory that this information be made available to the public. Now that's all very well and good, after all one's right to privacy is forfeited when you violate a persons rights - I have no qualms with this. The way it is implemented in some states, however, is (to put it lightly) utterly stupid. In one particular state, as soon as you move into the neighborhood you are expected to go door to door, to inform said neighbors that you were in fact a convicted sex offender.

Oh but don't worry now, I've served my term. Fancy a cup of tea?
