Why wait for the Hare Krishnas or fundamentalist Muslims to use the prayer in public legislation? Just declare yourself a worshiper of Ra and shout a greeting to the rising sun every morning from your rooftop, then counter-sue your neighbours when they get pissed off about it.

Hail to the Sun God! He sure is a Fun God! Ra! Ra! Ra!

Sound only travels so far, and even with a megaphone it can be drowned out by ambiant noise.

Better to go house to house and knock on doors, asking residents if they're heard the call of Cthulhu.

I've lived all over the U.S. of A. and happy to be in Michigan, which doesn't really have issues (historical baggage) and problems like this (religious zealotry).

If I lived in Mo., boy I might have high blood pressure!

no, but you still have the emergency manager law, don't you?
at least until the referendum is passed overturning it.


Then there is this guy. . .http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/...arty-sterling-heights-michigan_n_1760160.html

Don't even get me started on Benton Harbor. . .


OTOH, the wife and I have fantasized about moving up to Munising. . . .

...until they get majorities on the school boards and get to write the curriculum and select the textbooks.
 
I live in MO and I don't understand what's been happening lately. We used to be kind of in the middle but now we seem to be swaying right. Quite a bit more focus on religion I think (Christianity).
 
Things in Missouri get worse and worse.

Now Todd Akin says that women don't get pregnant from rape.

First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

And of course he has also introduced the bizarre concept of a "legitimate rape" to the public discourse.

I see where this is going. If a woman gets pregnant, it must mean she wasn't raped. She wanted it or her body wouldn't have gotten pregnant.
 
This sounds like the nutty stuff you hear coming from Africa. It's disgusting that he's got a real chance of winning a seat in Congress in the 21st Century.
 
The problem with abiding with the ignorant is that their vote counts as much as yours. And they'll do a helluva lot of damage long before the fruit of your loins starts looking for a job.

"You" is the generic "you" not the specific one.

And Senators (the seat Akin is running for) have waaaay more authority than any of us regular people. Yes, this idiot could well become one of 100 people who wield very great power in running our country.

I'm developing a theory. Intelligence is produced in the oceans. It washes up on the shores and people absorb it. How else can you explain that the further you get away from the ocean* the stupider the population as a whole gets.

*Gulf of Mexico doesn't count. It's not an ocean.

How does this explain south Carolina?

ACtually, I quite agree (but I do not eat SFS). Lot of persons of oriental heritage were making noise that it was offensive/racist to ban the practice. Per NPR.

Just like bans on dog fighting is really an attack on black culture. Or so I remember from the whole Michael Vick thing.
