But he can't remember specifically what they said about it, or what scriptures they cited (probably because there are no scriptures that warn against wearing the color black). It could be that they objected to wearing black as a symbol of taking vengeance on an opposing footbal team, which sounds more like an argument you'd hear from a Christian group at a schoolboard meeting, but who knows exactly what their objection was? The author of this article doesn't seem to know.<br /><br />And even if he did know, I'd argue that unless he can give some kind of proof that Angle was acting as an elected representative of the people and not just a citizen voicing a concern over a local matter, it really has no bearing on how she would govern.ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704399.post-27169172363038409522010-08-25T10:34:30.473-05:002010-08-25T10:34:30.473-05:00I don't get the point why need to restrict the...I don't get the point why need to restrict the black jersey?...So confused!Antiques Furniturehttp://www.antiquesrepublic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704399.post-51330794346540790202010-08-23T21:28:51.232-05:002010-08-23T21:28:51.232-05:00She could pass a law preventing any football playe...She could pass a law preventing any football player in America from wearing black jerseys and I'd still prefer her to Harry Reid.Ericnoreply@blogger.com
