Every time I think of how bad the gun laws are here i see something that makes me glad to be American. Now Pakistan has decided that Kite Flying is too dangerous and kite fights are a national menace. They passed a law against kites!

Now if we could just get a handle on suicide bombers.

Are they conducting door-to-door break-in searches for kites? Terrorizing women and kids?

Heck, the Nazis did door-to-door searches for kites, too. (ok, not very punny. Sorry 'bout that)

If you know much about fighting kites, they can be dangerous. Aside from the shear size of some of them, the strings are impregnated with glue, and covered with crushed glass. So, a runaway kite with a thousand feet of glass stinging through a crowd could do some serious damage real fast.

Honest, Habib, I was just cleaning it!

The Kite Runner is a novel that explains some of the things they get into with kites and life. Good read. Gianni.
