Now, I'm gonna try and be coherent about this, but I'm not sure I can.
THIS IS INSANE.... and I can explain exactly why.
Now that I'm done screaming, the dogs have slunk out of the room and the shaking in my hands has subsided, I need to tell you something.
INDIANA IS IN THE HANDS OF FUCKING LUNATICS*!!!!
Let's set aside (for the moment) the obvious blurring of church and state on this purty liscence plate.
These are headlines from articles from the South Bend Tribune for JUST THE PAST 7 DAYS....

Proposed BMV closings under scrutiny
Indiana - The Indiana BMV's proposed branch closings are coming under scrutiny.
On Thursday a group of state lawmakers is expected to form a study committee to review the Bureau of Motor Vehicles decisions and plans.
The BMV's Commissioner has decided to close nine branches and place 24 more under review. Four branches being considered for closing are in Michiana including Walkerton, North Judson, Syracuse and Chesterton.

OUR OPINION
(Opinion: 2006/07/27)
$32 million computer upgrade at the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles has been enough to drive anyone around the bend. Democrats are so annoyed that they're getting up a petition asking Gov. Mitch Daniels to pull BMV Commissioner Joel Silverman's ticket over the whole mess.
and they installed a new computer system WITHOUT ADEQUATE TESTING OR PROPER
BACKUP.
The state has its hands full fixing problems that arose a month ago when the Bureau of Motor Vehicles activated a new $35 million computer system. An outside expert looked at how the conversion is going and said problems can happen when the data is bad or the computer system is asked to do something it's not designed to do. Both are possible here.
Of fucking course, the new system crashed. And we ALL know
that this design probably cost a pretty penny, no doubt paid to some R crony Ad company out of state.
Now pay close attention to this, it's kinda like the "How many faces can you spot in this picture" thingie from Close-Ups. How many problems can you spot in this article?
New Indiana license plate design released
'In God We Trust' to be available Jan. 1.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- A new state license plate will feature the American flag and the words "In God We Trust" on a blue background, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles officials announced Thursday.
The final design for the new plate, which will be available next year, was chosen from four possible options, including designs that featured the state flag or Statehouse.
The General Assembly passed a bill to create the plate during this year's legislative session. Drivers who want the plate do not have to pay an extra fee, and the plate is not technically a specialty tag.
"We are pleased with the design of this plate and expect it to be very popular with our customers," BMV Commissioner Joel Silverman said.
Okay, so I made it a little easier.
So, in effect it's actually an ALTERNATIVE tag to the regular one you also don't have to pay extra for.
What if I don't want the "In GOD We Trust" tag, say the blue clashes with my vehicle.
Am I not PATRIOTIC?
Do I not BELIEVE in God?
Or is it I just don't TRUST God?
Scenario
Potential Employer- "Saw you drive in. Did the BMV run out of those new "IN GOD WE TRUST" tags?"
Me- "Nope"
Employer-"Oh"
The state has more troubles than you shake a forest of sticks at, and the LEGISLATURE takes TIME to debate and PASS a BILL for this SHIT!!!!
I'm sure there is nothing retroactively that I can do about this, but you can bet your ass that this pandering piece of propaganda has just fired the hell outa me, and some of my so called "Legislators" are going to be very tired of hearing from me. It's a promise.
