Thanks IbJensen.

Before everyone piles on IbJensen more than they already have, we should remember that some politician has already had this disgusting idea. Even though HR4646 died, it may reappear in the future under a different guise.

I quickly scanned the thread andsaw that the bill has been killed... for now.

A friend sent me a book last year. It was Glenn Beck’s “The Overton Window.” I doubt Mr. Beck will get a Pulitzer for his efforts but it was a decent read. More importantly, it defined the Overton Window. I’m not going to go into a lot of detail here, for those that are interested, the subject can be looked up at Wikipedia. When you do look it up you’ll realize the window has moved.
