LUNATIC !

The sharply divided US Congress has been able to agree on one thing at least -

that the world "lunatic" should be banned..... ::rofl::

"Lunatic" is derived from the Latin word for moon :

and the belief that it could affect mental health  :wink:

               

The House of Representatives voted 398-1 on Wednesday

to strike the term from all federal legislation :

after the Senate did the same in May.

The measure is designed to remove language that has become outdated

or demeaning from the US code.  :blank:

hahahahaha...these Lunatics wanna remover dem apt Descriptor  ::rofl::

The bill will now go to President Barack Obama for his signature.

"Not only should we not eliminate the word 'lunatic' from federal law when the most

pressing issue of the day is saving our country from bankruptcy,"

"We should use the word to describe the people who want to continue with business

as usual in Washington."

Rep Gohmert in a statement........ ::lol::

What y'all think :

Should this word be abolished ?

Lunatics were people that meets under the moonlight in the old days  for social activities and there were no connotation that they were crazy .
This I gleaned from studying Silas Marner by  George Eliot in primary school . It was only later that  the word Lunatic  was associated with mad people

you are a learned man
