It seems like they don't know that they live in a country, and not an independent state. Maybe they should go back to school. They are spending a ridiculous amount of time on bills that are just plain stupid. Maybe a lot of that is to get attention to the stupid bills and get them away from how they're crippling us (sometimes literally) with bills like the workman's comp or the health compacts.
But on fluoridation - get it out of my water. The stuff they call fluoride is actually a waste product from the phosphate fertilizer and aluminum industries. I verified this by going to my municipal website and it says so right there in black and white. It is sodium fluoride, and is present in Prozac and rat poison. It disrupts the endocrine system(thyroid problems)causes brittle bones, cancers, and is especially hard on the kidneys. It is highly recommended that NO children under 6 yrs drink fluoride. The reason it is there, is that these industries found it highly lucrative to convince communities to pay to dump this into the water instead of destroying this neurotoxin. I've done a lot of research on this after I became hypothyroid (the symptoms are exactly the same)Lots of info at fluoridealert.org.

There was an interesting KNS letter to the editor yesterday.

The argument that I most frequently hear now is the need to own assault weapons “to be armed to control an oppressive government”

This is obviously a threat of an armed insurrection to a democratic government controlled by duly elected officials.

It's hard to believe grownups are wasting their time on this crap.

Although I DO love Beavers' unilateral attempt to repeal Marbury v. Madison.
