Ann, that's a ferret.

The Constitution says that the Federal government can't establish a national church, but it doesn't actually say that individual states can't pick their own

Not true. The Fourteenth Amendment applies the Bill of Rights, including the First Amendment, to the states. Thus:

First Amendment (partial text) -- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

Fourteenth Amendment (partial text) -- No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I suspect this guy will get some support from the hardcore God & Guns parts of the state, but I don't think there is any worry about it actually passing. Missouri isn't that crazy overall.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Good luck with the nerve block, and the hamburgers, ita.

Crazy state legislators proposing stupid bills are nothing new; have you met these people?

You and Nutty are right. My sense of perspective has just gotten ground down in recent days/weeks, and I get so easily 'splodey.

Must work on that or I won't last much longer!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Fortunately, my blood sugar is so low right now (haven't stopped moving since I got to work this morning, just now sat down to lunch at 2:15) that the right-wing crazies barely register. I'm functioning in a blurry fog of to-do lists right now.

I hope you all are right about the bill not passing. I've become a little pessimistic.

It won't pass. Remember this is a state that came very close to having a democratic governer even though the guy elected governer was the one in charge of the election.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Remember this is a state that came very close to having a democratic governer even though the guy elected governer was the one in charge of the election.

They also voted for a dead guy for senator instead of John Ashcroft.
