“If a “brick” is 3×6 and completely flat, that’s not a brick; it’s a plate.”
This would work if they are going to Flatland. Perhaps they can find a Line Segment to represent them...or a circle.
Who uses a rectangular plate? I suppose it could be a trivet.
They have time to knit bricks? Don’t they have to go to work, do the laundry, take out the garbage, bathe the kidz, cook dinner? I could go on and on.
Let’s say I am a male who works for Hobby Lobby (or any large business). I like to have lots of sex. I need lots of condoms for my sexual escapades. I ask my company to provide me with a condom allowance to finance my sexual fun. The company tells me to pay for the condoms out of the wages it pays me. I cry and moan that my company is interfering with my sex life by not providing extra money to pay for the condoms. This is in essence the case of the females who want Hobby Lobby to pay for their abortions.
... call it “separation of STATE and church”!
You know, when one uses the phrase “separation between church and state”, while it is supposed to mean that both do not impose on each other, when you put the word “church” first, then it leaves the impression that the greater (or to some, the only) worry is with regard to the church imposing its will on the state, and not the other way around.
So I propose that our side should henceforth refer to this concept as the separation between state and church!
It seems like a minor difference, but it is also one that people will notice, and then may either try to correct or to question, at which time it can be pointed out that since the state has, by far, much more of an ability to breach that wall and impose its will on the church, it makes more sense then to put the word “state” first, since keeping the government’s power in check - as is the case in other areas - must be the primary concern.
If they are petitioning with their knitted bricks, a respectable petition would have 100,000 bricks. This is so lame.
To me it looks like she beat herself with the ugly stick. Between the tats, the horrendous taste in clothes, and her really ugly mind, I think your suggestion has a lot of merit.
