Folks in North Carolina have a funny way of celebrating freedom this Fourth of July. While many folks around this great land are canceling fireworks displays because of freedom-loving sequestration, North Carolina legislators are working on a bill to give women the freedom to not worry about control of their bodies! Don’t worry your pink-shoe-wearing selves, little ladies, the menfolk of the GOP legislature will
Yeah this is some bullshit, the crap coming out of raleigh since the election has been pretty epic in its stupidity but this is possibly the worst so far.
I live in Winston-Salem personally, but I'm following this with an eye on possibly driving down there to join in the protest...assuming they don't find a way to slide it past us without warning again :(

Hahaha. That deserves recognition.
Was it NC or SC that legislated away ocean-level rising?
North Carolina.
You mean Issac Asimov&#039;s Three Laws of Robotics?
While his original &quot;I, Robot&quot; collection of short stories was great, it was far from being the origin of the concept in his writing.
I realize that was probably a joke but I&#039;m too much of an Asimov fan to just let that go :P
