I'd love to get the story behind this bill.

Harry Landers writes:

Is there really any of this going on? Is there any reason to believe that it might be?

Waldo Jaquith writes:

Del. Cole told the Washington Post that this bill is an important step to ward off the antichrist. Del. Carrico agrees.

Maybe this bill should be tagged "mental health."

i have been tracked by the u.s. federal government for four years. they can read what i am thinking. this is two years after calling ex-preident bush and the f.b.i. torturing me for two years. i cannot prove that i have been tagged or chipped. the a.c.l.u. says the case is too big. taht all i want to say.
