I have little respect for most state legistlators. I need to be explicit about that. In my opinion, they are uniformly either corrupt or corruptable and prone to grandstanding on principle for their own sole benefit. I include in that every single state legislator that's ever represented me, including the one that I know personally.
This whole thing only convinces me that I'm right. Do we really expect any better from South Dakota's legislature, who's second to only Kansas' in a race to the far right on this particular issue?
