I love it Amara! Here's another idea: come up with a chemical substance
that causes the ink in the pads to dry up, gel, fossilize, whatever.
That way, you go around with a little squirt gun, squirting pads, and
they THINK that they still have their ink pads, but they are really no
good. If enough people keep doing this, you'll run the government into
bankruptcy with the largest budget item being inkpads, and the inkpad
manufacturers will get the blame....
That way, they can't nail anybody by declaring unauthorized posession of
an inkpad a felony.
