Utah Legislature Madness, Part III

Usually Sen. Chris Buttars annoys me with his yearly string of message bills, and his smug little cartoonish mug.

Then I learned about SB 111; a bill he sponsored that would ensure the “Free exercise of religion without government interference.” I believe the bill is meant to allow kids to be able to wear religious t-shirts to school, pray at school, sing religious choir songs on government property, etc.

But when I heard about this bill there was only one thing I had in mind: now I can finally take up those three other wives I’ve been wanting. Thanks, Buttars!

    That’s an interesting twist on it…I’m still having a difficult time finding any humor in the behavior of these elected assholes who make a mockery of the democratic process, due process, civil rights, human rights, separation of church and state, etc, etc, ad nauseum. With all that needs fixing in Utah (schools, roads, access to healthcare for the poor) all they can think about is using the legislative process to perpetuate their unique views of society….sort of like the Taliban….

    "It is precisely because it is fashionable for Americans to know no science, even though they may be well educated otherwise, that they so easily fall prey to nonsense. They thus become part of the armies of the night, the purveyors of nitwittery, the retailers of intellectual junk food, the feeders on mental cardboard, for their ignorance keeps them from distinguishing nectar from sewage."
    Isaac Asimov
