[Progressive] Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be Cowboys.
Don’t let ’em pick guitars or drive them old [non-hybrid, carbon-belching, unseemly] trucks.
Let ’em be [State-owned] doctors and [State-serving] lawyers and such.
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
‘Cos they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone.
Even with [a country] they love.

In related news, when will the State’s preferred conveyance unit for Keynesian-flavored Socialist statism — the US air-dollar — finally show what it’s really made of?
Wheee.
Here’s an interesting report on the bill.
The banjos are very subtle, no?
The very notion of doomsday is associated with a government that has collapsed as well. This means the bill is even more ridiculous than usual.
They really think we cannot live without them.
The stockpiles are just going to be taken over by the warlords. Decentralization is the key.
I don’t know if this is Doomsday Doomsday, as much as “Civil War and Balkanization” Doomsday.
Suddenly I feel like reading Turtledove.
Survey Says: “Shit Little Blue Bricks”
Wonder where they will park the aircraft carrier.
“Wonder where they will park the aircraft carrier”
That’s the sort of question that prompted the bill!
Says
here they advanced the bill minus the military components. Someone must have
noticed Wyoming is landlocked thus no need for an aircraft carrier.
The aircraft carrier thing was inserted by a progressive asshole from Laramie (Wyoming’s Austin) in an attempt to scuttle the bill.
Wyoming is landlocked for now.

But can you even imagine a state having this conversation ten years ago?
I watched an interview with David Miller earlier and he says the military stuff was inserted mockingly with an eye toward making the bill unpassable.
I hope they were having these conversations after 9-11 and after katrina.
That’s cool Pablo. I happen to think that when the shit hits governing groups will be a lot smaller than states.
One would hope so, BT. But societal break-down versus local terrorism/regional weather disaster? Not sure our elected best have that much imagination.
BT, I’m hoping that a few states do have their shit together when it hits the fan. A lot easire to rebuild from that order of magnitude than from warlords/clans.
Meltdown.
At Daytona, that is.
We’re fucked, buddy.
I’m not sure what the state could offer in the case of a total meltdown. Other than the goodies in the armorys.
