It is amazing to sometimes read about very antiquated and outdated laws that are still on the books in states throughout our country. For example, did you know that in Florida it is illegal to sell your children (does that mean it is 'typically' legal to do so in other states?)??. In Indiana it is illegal to sell cold soft drinks in a liquor store?? In Louisiana it is illegal to gargle in public places??

During my internship at the First Amendment Center, I wrote an article and the introduction to the article involved a case about a law that was over 100 years old in Michigan that criminalized the use of profanity in front of woman and children.
