Here is my question about the symbolic vote: In which G*d does the People's House trust? Is it Zeus? Jehovah? Loki? It cannot be Gaia. Follow up question: Apart from people like me who fail to believe that leftovers from the Cold War that were created by paranoid rednecks who care more about their God and their Guns should have a place in a modern society, who was really complaining about "In God We Trust" being the motto? Who was trying to get it changed and to what were they trying to get it changed to? (I would vote for "The Land of Free and Home of the Brave" but that is because I try to avoid anything that sounds like it comes from a childrens' book or a story about a carpenter that turns into a friendly zombie.)
The House, as you will see below, tried to gut even more of the EPA and has had members complaining about symbolic votes but the pressing issue was "In God We Trust"?
So Congress, I have a message for you:
You know what, I do not believe in magic, and this world is all I have to look forward to, so I would appreciate it is you tried to keep it clean instead of focusing your efforts on something that you have NO FUCKING EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR!

Yeah, I am a little pissed about this, and not in a "ha ha" way but in a way that has no place in political discourse. I am not asking people not to believe in what they want to believe, far from it, however, what I am asking is that we pay attention more to what is going on around us and not in preparation for some day that may not come and will not be at all like you imagined.
Let's keep our water clean, our schools strong (and teaching science), our military prepared and honored, and the citizens of this great experiment not lacking in the Four Freedoms.
