I think it is silly but it is ****ing Idaho. Have you ever been to
Idaho?
I have spent a good deal of time in Idaho but mostly in the civilized
parts. Boise is a sweet little city, college town. Ketchum and Sun
Valley are lovely in winter and summer. There are both good and bad
parts of the state, with some of the nastiest racists concentrated
more toward the panhandle. Even in those parts there are good folks
who can't stand the racists.
Lotta yahoos in Idaho, for sure.
My point exactly and when the United States was established, the
intent was that you could have a state full of yahoos. That was the
intent of the 9th and 10th amendments.
Notice that the 1st amendment says "Congress shall make no law". It is
silent on what state legislatures do.
There's also a very strong statement about separation of church and
state in the original document. One would hope states would be wise
enough to use that as a guiding principle, eh?
