If Obama wasn’t looking at this seriously for job creation yet, he will be soon. There is a whole sub-industry just waiting to kick into gear behind anti-kissing. Think of all the new taxes! Think of all the lives that can be saved by preventing all those germs being spread! To say nothing of the second-hand kissing rights of all those lonely hearts out there, forced to watch while others kiss. And the trains will run on time, too!

Excellent observations! Maybe I can get a job as Kissing Monitor at Wal-mart.
