April 24, 2010 / PHILADELPHIA / DIVERSE NEWS / – With just 37 minutes into the published story on YAHOO! there were over 33,000 replies.
Many comments were relating the law to racism, discrimination and civil rights violations. Only problem with this is that the word civil applies to citizens.
Dictionary.com defines ‘civil’ as:
1.
of, pertaining to, or consisting of citizens: civil life; civil society.
2.
of the commonwealth or state: civil affairs.
3.
of citizens in their ordinary capacity, or of the ordinary life and affairs of citizens, as distinguished from military and ecclesiastical life and affairs.
4.
of the citizen as an individual: civil liberty.
5.
befitting a citizen: a civil duty. etc.
So, are the Arizona citizens going to have to worry about this law?
