As a follow up to my last post, “I believe…?” I came across a news article through yahoo.com, “Group Files Suit Over ‘I Believe’ plates in SC.”
I see this in two ways. One, I’m glad that similar legislation failed in Florida. It’s hard enough to get along with people from different religions and backgrounds (and Florida is nothing if not filled with diversity) because of percieved DIFFERENCES between everyone. Better to find ways to emphasize the things we have IN COMMON.
Two, if the states offer private groups special plates with a number of prepaid orders, or flat out cash of a certain amount, as long as they don’t discriminate against any group why not let religious groups have their plates? It is another way for the government to generate money, I assume. Personally, I liked it when all the plates from a state looked the same, without all of the different backgrounds. I’m all for simplicity though.
Still that question remains…”What do you believe?”
