In some cases it is like teargas

Throughout the history of the world, youth have played a pivotal role in standing up to ungodly oppressive governments. Today we stand with our young brothers and sisters in Malawi as they fight for truth and all things good.

Here is the link, and just in case you are at work, on a school’s network that blocks sites, or the man in Malawi has gotten to the internet to take it down, here is the text.

“The Local Courts Bill, to be introduced next week, reads: “Any person who violates the atmosphere in any place so as to make it noxious to the public, to the health of persons in general dwelling or carrying on business in the neighbourhood or passing along a public way, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour.”

The bill will also attempt to deal with citizens who hinder the burial of dead bodies as well as people who pretend to be fortune tellers.

Many feel that there are better issues that the government needs to discuss. Local Topsi Ganzalesi said: “We can’t allow that. We all fart. Where do they think we could go and fart? That is no issue to debate upon.”

College student, Matthews Phiri, was not alone in saying he could not understand how the government hoped to enforce the new law – adding to widespread criticism that the new law is a giant waste of public funds.

“We all fart in public and it will be difficult to tell who has done it. Some do it silently. In some cases it is like teargas which goes like shhhh! Our legislators need to concentrate on discussing development projects. They should not waste our time and money on childish issues. It would make sense if they talked about defecating and urinating anyhow but not farting. This will not work. We will keep on farting,” he said.”
