No Swearing

From AFP:

Latvian lawmakers endorsed a new code of ethics designed to burnish the legislature's reputation that would prohibit deputies swearing and smoking in public.

The code, supported by over three-quarters of lawmakers, also obliges them to be polite in public and advises them to shun events where their presence could undermine the prestige of parliament.

The code was developed to raise the tone of parliamentary debates from "bawling and squawking in a marketplace," according to its author, Janis Strazdins, a member of centrist Greens and Farmers Union...

I wonder if the Dallas City Council might consider a similar measure? Nah, that'd take all the fun out of the meetings.
