Senators want to rid federal law of word 'lunatic'
By Pete Kasperowicz - 04/26/12 09:01 AM ET

Sens. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) on Wednesday introduced legislation that would remove all references to the word "lunatic" from federal law, a step they said is needed to reflect the country's modern understanding of mental-health conditions.

Conrad said that by eliminating "lunatic" from federal law, the 21st Century Language Act, S. 2367, would help reduce the stigmatization of such conditions.

That's a relief, and I was worried they were wasting time on trivial non-sense...............

LJUnaTIC, that's just the first step.  1st they take away your name, then they make it illegal, then they come and get you so they can send you off to Guantanamo.  Be watching for the black helicopters.

It's Obama's master plan to get rid of gun owners one owner at a time.

Now where is my tinfoil hat.
