The importance of duels in Pennsylvania

It's recently come to my attention that any person who has participated in a duel can't be Governor of PA. I'm not sure exactly how the law defines "duel", but I'm looking into it. The idea here would be to involve all of the biggest morons in politics in duels so that they could never hold the seat. Yes, I realize that's an exhorbitant number of duels but we must do our civil duties, people. There are quite a few dummies likely to fall for it, all of whom deserve to be out of the race before it even starts.

No more laws!

There's been a lot of talk lately about how we "need" more laws. People across the country are head-over-heels for news laws & have been for some time. On any given day, it's hard to not hear an argument as to why we "need" new laws about texting while driving, owning guns, putting GPS units on criminals & even laws to force Facebook to go back to previous incarnations. Such claims are simply ridiculous in many ways. The world is not your keeper or your babysitter or your mom or your etiquette maven. We have so many laws right now that we can't even enforce them all -- just ask anyone who has ever been a victim of a crime; Many criminals who face prosecution get a mere slap on the wrist for their wrongs except in extraordinary circumstances.

We have laws to punish you for driving like an idiot. They're called traffic laws & there are many on the books all across the nation. Things like DUI or careless/reckless driving can cost a person their drivers license temporarily or permanently. Violations of these laws (and others) are created with provisions for prison terms & extremely high fines. Clearly they aren't properly enforced or else every fool on a cell phone (or eating a hamburger or watching a movie or playing with the GPS) would be severely punished for dangerous driving, property damage & especially injuries to persons.

Don't Speak of That Which You Don't know

It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of politicians. As such, I’m vehemently against increasing their involvement in our healthcare. There are many things the government could do to improve access to healthcare & lower costs for all Americans (patients, providers, developers, pharmaceuticals, etc.). All the intelligent solutions involve decreasing bureaucracy, which of course the government will never do. Instead they prefer to find a problem & increase it in the hope of somehow improving everything. Duh.
