Washington State is proposing bright yellow license plates for people convicted of driving under the influence of intoxicants. When I saw the Seattle Times newspaper headline, I thought, "Yes, what a great idea!", but as the day wore on, I thought about the rising tide of legislated political correctness, and became increasingly angry wondering who would be the next target of social police.
Would women convicted of prostitution have scarlet plates? Would men convicted of soliciting have pictures of used condoms on their plates? Would ex-cons have jail-house bars on their plates? How about a picture of a severed hand for those convicted of shoplifting?
Maybe this is a social experiment to see how much shame a person can bear before they jump off the Aurora bridge.
