OK, so it's still not legal to do either of those things, but it's still a fun news story (and it being on the nightly news is proof that today was a slow news day.

I'm sure that doesn't matter too much in Detroit.

True.  Trying that tactic in Detroit would likely result in a modern day version of The Ransom of Red Chief.

I'm guessing that most people in Detroit don't have the gentlemen's ethics to actually have a duel.

Maybe they should repeal their Constitutional ban of civil unions?

I'm surprised they didn't repeal the law that says a woman can't cut her own hair without her husband's permission.

Or the law that says you can't swear in front of women and children.

I'm especially surprised with that one - because the entire purpose of this was to get rid of redundancies - and that's a redundant law with laws against public profanity.
