Annoying comments could be criminal

Arizona lawmakers are working on a bill that would mean jail time for people who write insulting online comments.  The measure would make insulting or threatening comments on line a class one misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail.

         Facing Affront

Arizona feels it's not fine

To insult your neighbor on-line;
So it's moving toward bucking the trend
Of logging on just to offend;
The state feels it's less than adult
To post comments that merely insult;
So if you sign on and assail
You soon may be posting from jail.
