(Newser) – Massachusetts lawmakers are considering a bill that would forbid parents from having sex inside their homes while getting divorced. The bill is intended to reduce domestic violence and protect children until their parents' divorce is finalized, supporters tell My Fox Boston. But critics aren't comfortable with the idea of the government regulating parents' sex lives. The state is also considering a separate bill that would end lifetime alimony, imposing the kind of payment caps already in effect in most states. Click here for the text of the bill.

In the future, jobs will have to be put into 2 catagories ]Productive and Non-Productive] because to climb out of this economic morass, the watchword of 21st Century has to be EFFICIENCY. Today, most government jobs (including Police & Military) could be classified as Non-Productive since they don't produce anything. Come to think of it, the same goes for GAYS

I guess this is one way to create jobs.The state can hire sex police to live in the house to be sure you don't have unapproved sex. Sounds like a Muslim plot to me. This governor is obviously a total idiot. I DEMAND THE RIGHT TO WATCH HIS SEXUAL ACTIVITY!!!! Makes as much sense, doesn't it?
