That is SO messed up.  So we can have all manner of indecent bumper stickers
but no 'indecent' plates?  Every taxpayer funds the plates which should give
him/her control.  Either that or ban the stickers.  What's a nasty word?  SO
subjective.  Religious?  So OR is now
censoring free speech?

The bad guy.
