California Assembly Says 'Yes' To No Cussing
The state Assembly passed a resolution Thursday that would establish the first week of March as "Cuss Free Week" throughout the state. If approved by the Senate next week, the measure would take effect immediately.
The resolution includes no enforcement mechanism and is simply meant to promote greater harmony and connectedness, said Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, a Democrat from La Canada Flintridge and co-author of the measure.
"I've always wondered why we behave differently when grandma is watching than when we're on our own," said Portantino, who owned up to his share of four-letter words.
Portantino said the California Legislature -- known for imposing strict clean air and clean water laws -- is the first state legislative body in the nation to consider a statewide profanity-free week.
Interesting. Pointless but interesting. Mr. Snaps and I are not big time cussing fans. Obviously, standard English doesn't always convey the exact tone required when I drop a can of beans on my foot but outside of that kind of thing, I'm not very in to it.
