Legal Technicalities

So North Dakota passed a dumb law.

"The bill declares that "any organism with the genome of homo sapiens" is a person protected by rights granted by the North Dakota Constitution and state laws."

So.. um... if i have 400 of these in a jar do i get 400 exemptions on my taxes? Hell of a lot easier way to get a free house than this. If I carry them around in a little battery operated cooler? or what about a liver transplant - that liver is an 'organism with the genome of homo sapiens'...

Was this country always so full of stupid people? or is this a relatively recent development.

ALWAYS.

Today there are simply more news outlets to keep you reminded of it.
