readun's fur dem smart folks!

Reason's De Omnibus Disputandum discusses the lazy and rather dim-witted nature of our legislative branch.

The fact that our congressmen so rarely read the laws they vote on is a complete outrage. Maybe we could covertly slip a clause into another monster bill requiring every member of the House and Senate to be present for a complete reading of a bill before it could be voted on? That might help keep the lying bastards semi-honest...

Then again, they would probably just change the law the moment it was discovered.
