The Michigan legislature picked a state soil yesterday. Is this kind of activity reasonable, right, or useful? Should not those three standards be applied to legislating at whatever level of government?

I think as Col. Potter would say it's "horse puckey". If you agree, you can display your feelings at the polls in November by throwing out those legislators who insist on wasting valuable time dealing with such idiocy. Claudine Schneider (currently Congressperson, soon to be running for Senate) tried to shift the responsibility for such nonsense out of the Congress and into a committee (such as the one which decides who gets on postage stamps). She was shot down by some idiot who defended his right to look like an idiot (and said so in almost as many words...) -- but that's on the federal level. Someone should do the same on the state level (move it to committee, that is).

I'm a student teacher in a fourth grade class here at one of the local elementary schools and the students are making state reports these weeks. One of the students, Sean, came to ask me why states don't have a state dinosaur. This made perfect sense to him. I told him the truth: I have no idea, Sean. Why don't you try to find one for your state? And so he did. Sean picked the ... (sorry, forgot the name) for Arizona. The animal has a big screen on it's back to cool down so that was good for the weather in Arizona, Sean told me. Greetings, Milos van Leeuwen

You people who object to the Michigan Legislature declaring a state soil have no sense of humus.
