Yet another modest proposal:

Nebraska has changed its safe haven law. The law allowed parents to abandon their children at any hospital without fear of recrimination. The law was intended to protect newborns. But a lot of parents were dropping off their teenagers, even traveling across the country to do it.

And I can understand that. I know some teenagers.

The new law limits the dumping age to 30-days. And I think that's wrong. I think the age should be raised to adulthood.

What about that 20-something who just won't move out of the house? Dump his ass at the hospital.

Or that 30-something who's moved back home and expects you to do his laundry? Say you're taking him in for a checkup. And leave him there.

But hey, that's just my opinion.
