Limited Government and Living in Sin in NC
Republicans claim to want to get the government off our backs. If that's true, then they will raise a ruckus about this development in North Carolina. Apparently a Sheriff's dispatcher was forced to quit her job when her (fascistic) boss found out she was living with her boyfriend. U.S. Magistrate Carl Horn in Charlotte is also said to "regularly ask defendants whether their living arrangements violate the cohabitation ban," and refuse to release them until they promise to comply.
Be funny to see them try to enforce that ban in Chapel Hill...

In Lawrence, KS, cohabitation used to be defined as sharing the use of a bathroom! Needless to say, the need for student housing caused the city to rescind its old law.
Just you laugh. In 1984, James B. Hunt ran for senator against Jesse Helms. When some reporter asked Helms how he could argue with Hunt's success in making the RT the economic dynamo of North Carolina, Helms had two things to say:
1. It gave a bunch of northerners high paying jobs and turned natives into janitors and garbage men.
2. There were more people living in sin in Chapel Hill than in all of the rest of North Carolina combined. That would have included me, living in sin in Chapel Hill at the time.
Helms won. Hunt lost.
Never underestimate the power of demagoguery to crush something, anything, however good it may be.

Reminds me of a line attributed to Helms when they were trying to appropriate money to build the NC Zoo. He allegedly said (approximately) "Let's just buy 20 miles of chain-link fence and put it around Chapel Hill"...
And they said Neanderthals are extinct...
