Sometimes you find out about a proposal from politicians that is so devoid of common sense, so unutterably stupid, that the instinct to shout "what were you thinking?" is inadequate. You really should shout "were you thinking at all?".
This latest bill in the Texas Legislature is a prime example of such a proposal. When the Texas Legislature is supposed to be a time-limited body, why should they waste legislative time on this pile of nonsense?
It is also deeply discriminatory. In order to keep alive the principle of fairness, I recommend that we all write to our Texas House representatives to demand that they amend the bill to allow people who are legally blind to drive motor vehicles and fly aircraft. If we can allow people who are legally blind to use deadly firearms, we should certainly be prepared to allow them to use other deadly devices.

P.S. I nearly assigned this to the Comedy section of the blog...
