I would have greater respect for these nitwits if I knew their intent was purely political. Somehow though I think they are simply morons trying to be political. I've run trap grids in the Chihuahuan desert of southeastern New Mexico during periods when daytime temperatures reached 115 degrees. I found the best guard against that type of heat was a rope (loose straw) cowboy hat with a wide brim. Grief I can't even imagine wearing a boiler plate on my head.

This is the same political system that attempted to tax people for the amount of rain that fell on their land.
