Amendment One Supporters Push New Law
Flush with victory from yesterdays statewide vote, supporters of North Carolinas Amendment One today moved forward with a bold proposal to ban electricity and soap.
Cal Pinckton, a leading proponent of Amendment One who has helped craft the new law, says the principles behind it are simple: If the Bible doesnt mention something, its against the law, and the Bible makes no mention of either soap or electricity.
He adds that North Carolina will still have plenty of stuff that the Bible does mention, like boils and locusts.

Gay bashed.
Obama bashed.

I've never claimed to be a sweet or gentle person, I'm not going to change because you think I should. Have you read my handle?
If you don't like what I type, don't read it.

(3,894 posts)suspect of much of the political circus. Well sorry, I refuse to become so narrow focused that I can't see the overall realities.
But seriously what trouble have I caused? Annoyed a few folks? Perhaps, but others are pleased not to be alone in their assessments. Didn't toe the Obama rocks line? Obama told us to push him, I'll honor that. More? Please elaborate and be specific. These vague cranky personal attacks are truly juvenile.
