You do realize they waste time on this because they DON'T want to address those things.

Or worse. They believe to adress these issues by making the bible state book.

Oh, yes. I'm quite aware. However, I believe they can't address those problems because they're far too dim to know how to fix them. There are precious few MENSA candidates down in Jackson.

We can both agree on that. They don't want to ask for help. Or they know that if they do, some of them will be out of a job.

Quote:Miles says he's not trying to force religion on anyone. He says he sees the bible as a good guide for promoting kindness and compassion.

Quote:"The Bible provides a good role model on how to treat people," Miles said. "They could read in there about love and compassion."

You know. Stoning people to death for adultery, killing unbelievers, the suppression of women and homosexuals and other wonderful examples of the christian spirit.

Really? This is the best book they could think of? It's not even good when taken as pure fiction. There is no way you could possible interpret it in any positive way. And how exactly would this represent Mississipi as a symbol? I didn't know it was written there. The article states there are multiple good works of literature written there. So really, besides the obvious one, is there any good reason for this? And is this truly the most urgent matter that Mississipi just has to attend to?

Note to self. Do not move to the US.

Politicians down here engage in some kind of Christian dick-measuring contest every single year. This fucking place is falling apart and these dolts are wasting time and resources on stuff like this. Last year, they added "In God We Trust" to the state seal.

Guess what? Mississippi still sucked the following day.

Do yourself a favor and don't.

Next up: Mississippi adopts the penis as the State Organ.

Oh. So it's a "whoever does the stupidest thing in the name of god officially has the biggest dick" kind of thing. Can't say I get it.

What is the motivation behind that?

a) In their minds this is the most important issue, because god
b) They really don't want to even consider anything really important, but still have to pretend they're doing something

Either way, that shows someone who is a) crazy or b) irresponsible.
Both disqualify anyone from being a politician.

Maybe next they can adopt the asshole as the official state bird!
