Or fling it back upon an earlier time.
There are times when I wonder if the U.S. has been dropped through a wormhole into the 1950's.
Seriously. Look at the current craze for pencil skirts and spike heels. It's illegal for perfectly loving couples to be married and to have a child in some states. The charge of "unpatriotic" is levelled against those who dare to criticise the government. Not to mention being embroiled in land wars - plural - that we are fucking up royally whilst rattling our sabres at another country. And finally -
Cross burnings in North Carolina. Fucking hell.
Don't hang back with the brutes, y'all. Just don't.
edit: There also the matter of parents being forbidden to teach their child about Wicca, which happens to be their religion, but I'm inclined to look at that as a poor ruling by an uneducated judge. Either that, or it's a test case to see if this country really can be turned into a de jure theocracy...
