Tu t’amuses comme un petit fou \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper ton histoire : la rencontre entre cette petite vieille qui essaye de d\u00e9jouer l’interdiction de sortir en ville en m\u00eame temps que les jeunes \u2014 victime des lois anti-vieux \u2014 et de ce grand gros chauve timide (toute ressemblance avec moi serait fortuite), victime des lois anti-moches qui lui font la m\u00eame interdiction…<\/p>\n\n
Quand, au d\u00e9tour d’un tweet, la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 te tombe dessus, plus d\u00e9lirante que ton imagination : tu voulais inventer une ville assez conne pour voter des lois qui interdisent les rues aux moches (et aux vieux) ? \u00c7a existe d\u00e9j\u00e0, \u00e0 Chicago, en 1911 :<\/p>\n\n
\nThe most famous city ordinances of the period were the so-called \u2018ugly laws\u2019, which made it illegal for the disabled to appear in public:<\/p>\n \n
\n\u201cNo person who is diseased, maimed or mutilated, or in any way deformed so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object or improper person to be allowed in or on the public ways or other public places in this city, or shall therein or thereon expose himself to public view, under a penalty of not less than one dollar nor more than 50 dollars for each offence.\u201d\n The Chicago \u2018ugly laws\u2019 were actively policed, at least initially. Several disabled residents were arrested for breaching this ordinance and either fined or transported to the Cook County poorhouse. This waned toward the end of World War I, which increased the population of these \u201cdisgusting objects\u201d. Chicago did not repeal its \u2018ugly laws\u2019 until the mid 1970s.<\/p>\n <\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
On appr\u00e9ciera la remarque de l’auteur sur les motivations possibles du conseil municipal pour voter des lois aussi cr\u00e9tines :<\/p>\n\n
\nUnable or perhaps unwilling to combat these larger problems, Chicago\u2019s City Council instead focused on smaller ones. Between 1910 and 1914 council aldermen passed a series of ordinances that banned or restricted dozens of activities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
En gros : incapables ou ne souhaitant pas r\u00e9gler les vrais probl\u00e8mes (le crime organis\u00e9, la corruption de la police sont cit\u00e9s en exemples des probl\u00e8mes du Chicago de cette \u00e9poque), ils se rabattent sur des r\u00e8glements d\u00e9biles… Toute ressemblance avec ce que font nos l\u00e9gislateurs actuels \u2014 faire tout et n’importe quoi, surtout n’importe quoi, plut\u00f4t que de s’attaquer aux vrais probl\u00e8mes \u2014 serait-elle fortuite ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
je vous laisse, j’ai une id\u00e9e d’histoire o\u00f9 on transformerait les stations du m\u00e9tro parisien en bars et salles d’expo, ou en piscines. Heu…<\/p>\n\n
