If you saw the kind of junk our state legislators file every year, that wouldn't be as funny. They don't take time to think about what they're doing -- it's all for "feeling good" or for show. (I have to commend one Democrat though; when I showed him how the bill he'd written would accomplish the exact opposite of what he intended, he killed it in his own committee.)
I wish there were penalties for filing bad legislation. (And elections don't count, not with a thoroughly asleep electorate.)
