In a country with a constitutional mandate to not show preference to any particular religion. If they open that door, they're going to see a lot of court cases.
Texas passes law which requires public schools to display The Ten Commandments of the Christian Bible in every classroom with a font size readable from every seat.
β In a country founded on religious freedom and the separation of church and state. Wow!

He invented the DOJ, you know.

Making love at midnight in the dunes on the Cape is over-rated. That sand gets *everywhere*.

They don't think about that. My car is a hybrid, braking slowly charges the battery and lets me drive longer on electric power without burning any gas. So go ahead, get to that red light before I do. I'll adapt.
@ScottSoCal @enoch @LikeItOrLumpIt @lednabm I used to commute in a hybrid that let me solo use the single left HOV lane on I-66 in DC/VA.
As normal rush hour traffic would rubberband from 60 to 0 to 60, I would just set my cruise at 35-40. Since it was single lane, wasn't a worry of ppl continuing to cut in front.
Holy Smoky were ppl pissed off. I'm like you can *see* the stopped traffic up ahead right? Im literally saving you gas (and brake wear)!
@ScottSoCal @pixelpusher220 @enoch @LikeItOrLumpIt
And spend money having to replace their brake pads more often....
@pixelpusher220 @enoch @LikeItOrLumpIt @lednabm
I always get a chuckle from the people who race around me so they can get to the red light 1.5 seconds before I do.
@enoch @LikeItOrLumpIt @lednabm always a car seat happy dance when an asshole driver who passed me ends up pulled over on the shoulder
Too many cities in the US would see this as a revenue loss, from tickets that aren't written.
She's terrifying. If she was carrying a book, I might have had a heart attack.
If he'd stolen it from poor kids with cancer, he could have skated. The way TFG's crotchfruit did.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
