Post Newdow's new idea

It's seems that Newdow, after 'settling' the pledge issue is now turning his sights on the English language

He intends on removing the the gender-based pronouns and replacing them with variations on the word 'ree' i.e. 'he' and 'she' become 'ree'

Changing the language??!!! has it been confirmed that this guy isn't being paid by the christian right to completely ruin secularism in the nation!

O'hair he is not
She was radical in a good way, to me it seems that Newdow is just crazy

Here's a link:

I think "intends on removing" may be the wrong way to put his views, however.

Interesting, a bit weird, but not C/S Separation, even if Newdow did say it. Further discussion in Misc. Disc.
