[Wherein some asshats want to change I-69 to something else, due to
"sexual connotations"]

Why bother redirecting to sex before getting to fundamentalism?
You're only one state away from NM, which bowed to pressure to change
US-666 to... 471 or something stupid.  Oh, 491:

(I was reminded of this when I drove past it on I-40 a few weeks back,
with the GPS on... GPS map still had it as US-666, alas.)

(Cue soundtrack to "Natural Born Killers" here.)

People are stupid.  As long as politicians can find utterly pointless
things like this to occupy their time with, the masses will be
convinced they're doing something.

Happy Monday Cynicism!
