Perry vs. Obama

[Dave2]

"Pork barrel politics" were around LONG before the current ability to pass legislation without reading it. The current habit of "passing legislation so the people can know what's in it" is entirely new with this administration. I'm in favor of passing legislation that prohibits any bill that's more than 100 pages long. If it can't be explained in 100 pages, I don't want it. (And I could be convinced it needs to be even shorter than that.)

100 pages?!? I say if it takes more than one page it's too complex and needs to be rewritten, or probably scrapped all together. One-page laws are plausible, you say? The Bill of Rights -- not just one law, but the first ten amendments to our constitution, in their entirety -- fits on one page... even with the space-wasting Ye Olde fonts and the commemorative thingy at the bottom.



Not only do all ten of the Bill of Rights fit on one page, but none are more than one sentence long and seven aren't even complex enough to warrant a semicolon.

What in the world could possibly be the federal government's business that would take 100 pages to explain?

Look up and see who Corliss Lamont was...not someone who would care much about honoring the Bill of Rights...funny that there was a dedication to him on the bottom of that...and by funny, I don't mean amusing...

Huh, that is weird. Maybe it should've read "Presented in 'loving' memory of Corliss Lamont," you know, like as a warning against his teachings.
