Do people ever consider there are things that can't be or shouldn't be legislated? In my discussion with average people, they believe that government can make a law about anything and tax anything.

Not long ago there was a federal legislature who wrote a bill limiting how loud late night commercials could be.

The governor needs to change his last name.

Calling himself “Brown” is very offensive to our brown skinned, uninvited guests from south of the border.

Who has actually determined that American indians are offended by that term? And how have they determined that?

California, the most populous state, contains more people than the 21 least populous states combined.

It is our largest insane asylum.

Thankfully, this change won’t affect my team, the Pasadena Palefaces.

By that reasoning, blacks shouldn’t be allowed to be called black and whites shouldn’t be allowed be called white. Gov. Brown shouldn’t be allowed to use the word brown since somewhere in his ancestry, his ancestors likely had brown skin.

I don’t know why the color red should be so offensive to some people. Let the school change color to brown skins, white skins, black skins. At one time in the service my skin was even yellow from taking an anti malaria drug. Indeed, if Jerry is so sensitive to color and ethnicity he should find a different family name than Brown. Perhaps purple, yes Jerry Purple seems fitting.

>>using a term that American Indians regard as offensiv

At least this article says American Indians. Many such articles say “Native Americans”. A Native American is anyone born in the US of A, I believe.

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles and never frowns
Soon I will be President
Carter power will soon go ‘way
I will be fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school

Bill created by my local California assemblyman Luis Alejo. He also created the driver’s licenses for illegal aliens bill and the mandatory ethnic studies bill.

They can legislate you out of existence before you’re born or long after .. Makes no matter to nanny staters.. Cradle to grave robbers.. And they are proud of it.

They will answer.. Some day.. God pity them then. I won’t.

Actually, I think the legislation was that the commercials could NOT be louder than the programs they came with. It always used to annoy me a lot when I was watching TV, my children were sleeping, and then a loud commercial would come blasting out. Since I didn’t have a remote, I would have to jump up to turn down the volume so the kids wouldn’t wake up.
