North Dixon.

The west side has grown a whole bunch. Not that much in the way of shopping on that side of town.

They are one note john/janes. me me me me me me me me

Do they care that they’ve made a satire of what they rode in on? No no a million times no. That isn’t the point. The point is to do something like outrage the Christian bourgeoisie.

When I saw the LGBTXYZ thing in the title, this is the one that came to mind-

“Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo Montego, baby why don’t we go
Ooh I wanna take you down to Kokomo,
we’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go, way down in Kokomo”...

Did you go to the BK on Markland (near 31) or the one on N. Washington? I still do their coneys from time to time, with a side of corn nuggets.

Five Guys is the ONLY place to get a good burger in town. IMO

"There’s no “protection” involved here. It is all about power over others."

Note that the Founding States made the Constitution’s Clause 1 of Section 10 of Article I to prohibit the states from establishing privileged classes. And this is arguably what this city ordinance that protects so-called LGBT people is doing imo.

Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility [emphases added].

The protection ordinance will also probably lead to the abridgment of 1st Amendment-protected right of religious expression for Christian business owners imo, owners who may have convictions against doing business with LGBT people. The major constitutional problem with this is that such abridgment of constitutionally enumerated right by the state is expressly prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.

14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Also, note that 14A gives Congress the power to legislatively strengthen constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression as it concerns the example of this thread. But Congress has failed to do its job concerning such protections imo.

Yes, that’s the one. We were the only construction job going, and a lot of auto workers had been laid off around that time. We weren’t too popular, as the locals thought the job should have gone to local contractors. Oh well...

The union electricians were out of a Kokomo hall, and they knew it was the only job they would have for a while. So they were really SLOW...except for that time they blew the breaker box in the Kroger store. I never saw union electricians move so fast LOL.
