He refused and obviously there was no sanction the wardens could apply but in theory a police officer could give him an on-the-spot fine if they felt like it. Now if such a t-shirt is illegal than why are they legally sold?

Of course, your average cop has much better things to do than bother with such nonsense but this wasn't true recently when a young teenage girl was given a fixed-penalty-notice for drawing rainbows on the pavement in chalk. The culture of arbitary target-setting was blamed but really.....lawman have you no shame? Protect your community! There are folks being robbed and killed in the cities. Besides chalk disappears when it rains, which it does constantly!

An analogy can be made with slime mold, which is a protozoa of damp places. When local conditions become adverse, millions of slime-mold organisms climb on top of each other to make a tower which collapses and reforms at the point of furthest collapse to make a new tower. These basic little things, not even complicated enough to be animals or plants become a temporary multi-celled being that effectively walks to a new environment before dispersing to become individual slime-mold again.

Yeh me too. That's why I don't read people's posts very carefully. Sorry.

I hope yours is a friendly tribe, though. You do come across as a bit of a rogue trooper sometimes. Are you all like that up there?
