Until yesterday, the Iowa constitution had verbiage in it that stated that "idiots" and "the insane" could not vote. We voted on a constitutional amendment to replace that politically incorrect phraseology with something like "those judged mentally incompetent". Pretty straightforward, huh?
Well, I would have thought so. But 18% of Iowans actually voted against the amendment. This makes me laugh every time I think about it. Why? WHY?
Well I can only guess, but it seams to me that maybe 18% of you guys are idiots, or that 18% think, why change it, with the way everyone votes these days, why change now.

ReplyDeletebut I'm focusing on the verb judged to be mentally competent: judged by whom, exactly?
Perhaps some of the wiser Iowa idiots are leery of giving up their constitutional right to idiocy free of bureaucratic intervention.
Verification word "bingered": the misplaced outrage one feels upon being given the finger by someone who actually just jammed his finger in a really painful way and is waving it around for sympathy and/or distraction from the misery.
