I am bewildered at the shameless idiocy contained in the dominant political body in my state. You can read the whole thing here, but here are some choice examples: Principles: “The laws of nature and nature’s God” as our Founding Fathers believed. Protection from Extreme Environmentalists – We strongly oppose all efforts of the […]
