    Having once covered the Atl. Falcons years back and knowing this area well, people in this county never have enough to worry about, it seems.

    Looking at a picture of the mom in question, I've realized something. The smaller the lips, the more tight-assed the person. I know it's not scientific by any means, but it's just something I've noticed over the years.

    I think you're being elitist. Even wingnuts deserve their day in court.

    On second thought, no they don't.

    She is a vet who has done this before. There are other in Gwinnett County like her. Too many to count I'm afraid.

    I find it sad that people have so little faith in their children.

    She might not realize it now, but she's fortunate that she's losing this case. Because if she wants people to find God again, had she won, the next step would have been taking out any books that pertain to Christianity.

    Just a stupid argument by this woman.

    Never mind that what this woman wants goes directly against a portion of the Constitution.

    And like Kyle's mom in the early days of South Park, she's spending so much time fighting Harry Potter you have to wonder if anyone is home fighting for the kids.

    Guess not.

    People like her don't get that. If you could ever get them to be truly honest, they will never be happy until their faith becomes the national religion and this nation's laws are based upon it. Anybody of a different faith can either get out or keep their religious ideas to themselves.

    On the plus side, at least they can read Harry Potter in Gwinnett.

    Go out into rural GA and I suppose any protest would be about whether or not to show the movie.
