Testamonial:  And i have actually gone to a bar and had a bouncer try to start a fight with me on the way in. I broke his teeth out of his fucking mouth and put his face through a passenger side window of a car.

Guess thats what the Internet was build for, pussy motherfuckers taking shit in safety...

QuoteHouse Bill 2366, introduced into the House Energy and Environment Committee, would prevent any state funds from being "used, either directly or indirectly, to promote, support, mandate, require, order, incentivize, advocate, plan for, participate in or implement sustainable development."

I'm not convinced that this is stupidity. Hanlon's razor actually cuts both ways so I'm gonna restate it

Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by cupidity

Well, naturally it stems from greed, stupid, self-defeating greed.

This is one of those ones that i would love to see creatively interpreted.  For instance, as timber is a sustainable resource no money can be allowed to go to state forestry. The department in charge of managing hunting and fishing needs to be shut down, since that is also sustainable ecological management.

I told you guys, legislation has been reduced to "WE'LL SHOW THEM!", on both sides of the aisle. 

Legislation as AM radio.  Nicely done, America.

It gets more stupid at the bottom of the bill, where it defines sustainable development:

Quote"sustainable development" means a mode of human development in which resource use aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come, but not to include the idea, principle or practice of conservation or conservationism.

The bill doesn't bother to define conservation/conservationism, of course.

I want to know who actually wrote it, but all I can see so far is that it came out of the Committee on Energy and Environment.

QuoteOn Monday, the Republican-controlled Missouri House of Representatives passed an Agenda 21 ban, following a debate that included discussion of whether the state should also ban space aliens.

That sounds about right.
