And If You Still Can't Believe America is Crazy

Consider this bill now working its way through the Wyoming legislature.

On Friday, the Wyoming House of Representatives advanced a bill to set up a task force to prepare for the total economic and political collapse of the United States. Per the bill, the panel would investigate things like food storage options and metals-based currencies, to be implemented in the event of a major catastrophe.

Then it goes three steps further. An amendment by GOP state rep. Kermit Brown*, calls on the task force to examine "Conditions under which the state of Wyoming should implement a draft, raise a standing army, marine corps, navy and air force and acquire strike aircraft and an aircraft carrier." As Miller explained to the Casper Star-Tribune, "Things happen quickly sometimes."

I wonder if Kermit has figured out how quickly Wyoming could become a coastal state, the sort of place that could, arguably, use an aircraft carrier.   It seems like Idaho and Oregon might stand in its way.
