If you cant use "lunatic" in the legal code, what about she-ra mother of all Muslim warrior pysch-patients? "5 star all pro psychotic?" jet-powered space cookie? Super Mario-brothers Jacked-over?
Guess what! Texas Republican congressman Louie Gohmert arguably the biggest LUNATIC in congress was the only person to vote against it. I think he wantes to make sure the right word is abvailable to describe him in federal legislation if necessary.
Louie Gohmert was the only sane person who didn't drink from the same well water as the others. What a waste of time and vote. Seeing as you Neo-Liberals fit the definition of Lunacy quite well, why they get rid of it is beyond me.
So with all the really important stuff this is for Congress to do...all these lunatics can get together on is a bill to do away with the world lunatic....self serving of them, don't you think?
The word is derived from the word "luna" (moon) and originally meant "affected by the moon".
Any cop, musician, waitress, hooker, or anyone else making their living at night can tell you about "full moon Fridays" when more strange public human behavior invariably occurs.
Because of this empirically measurable phenomenon, the word need not be expunged from the books, but a more accurate term for incapacitating mental illness would be the way to go.
A caution, such mental illness must be carefully defined, because the current political agenda of the right wing in the US and internationally actually fits officially accepted symptoms of the mental illness ASPD.
While the banks would love to be able to use such a law to take ASPD-afflictes bagger property, I must admit that it would not be fair, even if it would be quite funny and satisfying.
I do see the word was historically used as I was researching the Civil War in Missouri and saw that the "Lunatic asylum" in Fulton had blankets stolen by the rebel forces.
Congress has time to spend on something this trivial, yet can't manage to balance the budget, or deal with immigration, or the fiscal cliff. Wow, what leaders we are stuck with!
The lone "no" vote was cast by Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, who said in a statement that "not only should we not eliminate the word `lunatic' from federal law when the most pressing issue of the day is saving our country from bankruptcy, we should use the word to describe the people who want to continue with business as usual in Washington."
