Steve, & Mike,
Is a thought a dangerous thing?
Stupidity? More like hideously gross & moronic insanity.
What we witness is the most overt attempt to influence the
thinking of a whole people: behavior modification on a grand scale.
What these laws intend is to remove a whole thought pattern
from the national psyche, and supplant it with a new paradigm.
The results are less than sterling, for if the idea were as honest
as it pretends to be, then its effects would have less onerous impact.
