“Automated decision system”? They want to regulate if statements?

It _was_ illegal to sell records on Sunday in South Carolina in the early 80s so I thought I had caught my church breaking the law when we came out of a service to a table full of religious records for sale.
When I was a kid, I somehow got in my head that it was illegal (?) for anyone to be named “Pope,” and then I met a friend of my mom’s whose last name was “Pope” and I was scandalized, despite being more or less Methodist.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
