When the phrase “under God” is inserted as per HB 1034, and the bill’s author, Debbie Riddle, admits by refusing an amendment that she isn’t trying to parallel the U.S. flag pledge, but evidently just wants to insert the words “under God,” it’s getting ridiculous.
So, will this stop somebody from selling strawberry meth on a school playground? Doubtful.
Update: A waggish letter-writer to The Eagle of Bryan-College Station suggests using “under Oklahoma” instead, which would at least be geographically correct!
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
