99. Stop Swearing！ p.176

　　Everywhere in the world you can hear people swearing or using foul language. Even when learning a second language， many people know how to swear before they can speak the language properly. Indeed， it is a disease.

　　Recently， in New Jersey， the government decided to do something about the problem. It banned swearing. You could face a US$500 fine， including a three-month jail term for swearing. Considering the trivial nature of the crime， the punishment seemed quite harsh to some. Some say the law infringes on their rights. But others say it is a good law because people in New Jersey have really stopped swearing so much.
