1st Amendment void in Brazoria TX

If Mayor Ken Corley has his way, using the "n-word" in his town will be punishable by a $500 fine...unless it is a "term of endearment" and nobody complains. Not that any civilized person would want to use that word, endearingly or any other way. But where will we draw the line? The F-word will be worth, what, $100? I mean the 4-letter one; I'm sure that "f-----m" will merit the death penalty.

Can we get publicised executions with that? =)

All it takes is just one word, soon people will get fined for not being "PC"

In the town square, with a band...playing any tune you want as long as it isn't "Dixie". Maybe even playing Ken Corley's favorite tune:

"Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen dicht geschlossen!

S.A. marchiert mit ruhig festem Schritt..."
