Yet more proof that legislators should not be allowed to create laws without taking a drug test.I'm not suggesting that they are high on anything more than the smell of their own farts but the resulting proposals do nothing to support that view:)
First let's head off to a tiny little state with big problems.
Rhode Island proposal: Youth sports oversight, or overreach? - CNN.com
I can't wait till they mandate a video playback rule for all games involving more than three people. Let's make an assumption that most of the parents were publicly educated. How has their education and socialization by the state led to them being incapable , least in the eyes of their masters, from resolving disputes of a pretty trivial nature? Some would say it's working too well should you want a relatively docile population that you relies on you for every little thing.
Now off to a tiny minded state, at least where the legislators are concerned.
Oklahoma state rep wanted to prevent Prof Dawkins speaking to university,
Let's not get ahead of ourselves there are other deserving applicants.
Put another ban on the Barbie mate!

Rhode Island proposal: Youth sports oversight, or overreach? - CNN.com
Democratic Sen. John Tassoni Jr. introduced a bill that would create a youth sports oversight council on the state level. The council would act as mediator in disputes between parents of youth athletes and sports officials.

"œThe God Delusion", and public statements on the theory of evolution demonstrate an intolerance for cultural diversity and diversity of thinking and are views that are not shared and are not representative of the thinking of a majority of the citizens of Oklahoma;So says state rep Thomsen in house resolution HR1015 which replaced the foaming that the mouth version.I am glad they are interested in diversity because I can't work out if this is pandering or stupidity.Could Kansas employ Oklahoma as their village idiot? Would more money for education solves this level of idiocy? Maybe not Rep Thomsen is on the education sub committee. Here's a follow up Dawkin's appearance.

Put another ban on the Barbie mate!
"Democrat Jeff Eldridge introduced a bill in the House of Delegates on Tuesday that would ban the sale of Barbie dolls - and "other dolls that influence girls to be beautiful" - in West Virginia."Yet not a ban on male dolls without genitalia that influence people to become Democrats.
You realize that if the culture wars ever become civil wars, the non-believer camp is in the unfortunate position of having PETA, Hollywood, anti-gun pacifists, the coasts, NPR, and environmentalists on our side? Though, as for the latter, at least the misnamed Greenpeace can sink ships. Oh wait, it's their ships that get sunk, and by the French at that.
Hmm. Maybe we should just send PETA and the pacifists out to the field of battle first so they can talk to all the heavily armed fundamentalists on the other side. Perhaps they would turn the other cheek.
That would get rid of 1/2 the annoying people:) Good plan.You may be making an error in assuming those that claim to be anti gun are unarmed though. Mainly they are anti - you- having one. In the right hands of course;) The recent sales of guns are way way more than the "good ole boys" can account for and the types of guns/prices paid only comes from people that don't know any better.
Pacifists,deserve what they get.Anyone that wouldn't lift a hand to save their kids on morals where it could have an effect needs to suffer;)
~Oversight Council~
What happened to a good ol' fashioned fist fight amongst drunken fathers?
~Ban of Darwin Speaker~
Fruitcakes like this dude trying to ban Dawkins from showing up because most people are "of faith" in Oklahoma, really really make it hard for the rest of us who have a faith but don't shove our beliefs down people's throats and are well-rooted in science...ugh.
~Barbie Dolls~
He's right...we shouldn't influence girls to be beautiful...we should just create the "crack-whore" and "elephantitis" models of Barbie...that will make girls feel better about themselves.
