9:33a - Offred's Law
Inspired by too many wanks to count, this law states:
1) That, in real life, other people will frequently say things, write things, or propose state/national legislation with which you disagree. This is a basic side-effect of living in a democracy.
2) That, despite the above fact, the U.S./Canada/Europe/Your Home Nation is NEVER on the verge of becoming just like your favorite dystopian novel from high school.
3) That this law applies to everyone, from anarcho-feminists to fundamentalist Christians (for whom the law may alternately be known as "LaHaye's Rule" and will contain the addendum that any person speculated to be the Antichrist is automatically NOT the Antichrist).
4) That the only way to exempt yourself from Offred's Law is if the country you are referring to has experienced a military coup, dictatorship, totalitarian rule or a combination thereof within the last 50 years.
4a) Choosing to refer to a popularly elected leader you don't like as a "dictator" or "facist" does not count as a reason to exempt yourself.
5) That any person found to be in violation of this law shall be automatically deported from the westernized democracy they currently reside in and forced to take up residence in a country that actually is facist or totalitarian.
