  5. I hadn't even heard about this Anne. Hmmm...a good thing that I'm primarily into food and my dogs - no politics thank goodness!

    They'll never pass this bill, and even if they did does anyone really think that italians are going to obey the rules? Just look at the way they drive and you know that when in Italy, rules are made to be broken. Ha!
