A special kind of stupid

North Dakota has some very special legislators.  Our legislators try to out do each other to see who can introduce the silliest law.  Years ago our local representative introduced a bill that would limit how strong a flashlight you could use while hunting racoons.  Currently one of our rocket scientist want to introduce a bill that will make it illegal to wear a mask while protesting.  Of course it is not illegal to wear a mask while robbing a bank in North Dakota, but maybe they will realize that and add it to the law. Another one of our  bean brains wants to allow anyone who wants to carry a concealed weapon.  Why not put guns in vending machines.

One thing our cultivated idiots like to do is imitate some goofy law from another state.  Their favorite is abortion laws.  Anything they can come up with to harass a woman is wonderful.  Some southern state full of Bubba law makers will come up with a goofy law, and in no time North Dakota wants to try it.

Sadly most of the law makers in North Dakota are trained old monkeys.  The Republicans in charge tell the monkeys what to do and the monkeys comply.  As a courtesy to the monkeys they are allowed to introduce silly legislation.  The old goats in office on behalf of the NRA, and every other right wing organization, are people near death who need a little extra income.  So they follow the party line to get free health care, and some pocket money.  On any given day you can walk into the chambers of the capital and be overcome by the sound of old men sleeping.

Back to the new law that you cannot riot with a mask on.  What about Halloween?  What if you go to a costume party and a fight breaks out?  Will you be charged with wearing a disguise?  The dingers never think of the implications.  It was the warriors protesting the pipeline that sparked this ingenious law, but what if a warrior decides to put on war paint?  Is he wearing a mask?  What if it is cold during the protest and a warrior decides to stay warm by wearing a ski mask?  The dingers never think of the implications.  Why not make it illegal to wear cloths during a riot.  This would limit riots to warm weather.  Why not require people to file a report if they break the law?  Our geniuses have endless opportunities to show their legislative skill.
