Long John Ashcroft Harpoons Greenpeace, Trains Parrot To Say 'First Amendment Sucks. Braack!' "

"Passed 131 years ago, Code 18, Statute 2779 was written to prevent organizations such as boarding houses from “sailor mongering” — which involved boarding ships before they had moorage, often using alcohol or prostitutes to lure the crewmen ashore, leaving the vessel unattended."
