    I was just driving behind a North Carolina plate the other day. Apparently their plates read “First in Freedom”. Seems like they’ve lost sight of things.

      “First in Flight” was the original (because the Wright brothers’ first flight was in NC), then they added “First in Freedom”. It’s because NC was the first state to write/sign a Declaration of Independence from England, over a year before the Declaration of Independence.

      But it was a fucking slave state. I’ve always thought the “First in Freedom” license plate was insulting.

      Also, Mark Robinson is insane and a horrible person. Obviously.

      That’s one you can choose. I’ve always stuck with the classic First in Flight. Way too many In God We Trust driving around though
