The Kansas House of Representatives approved 99-21 a constitutional amendment that would guarantee citizens the right to hunt and fish. If the Kansas Senate passes the bill by 2/3 majority, then it will go before the voters in November. KansasCity.com has a bit more on this, along with the quote of the day.

“It’s kind of silly,” the Democrat (Rep. Sue Storm of Overland Park) said. “Why not have a constitutional right to golf?”

Well, silly Miss Overland. I guarantee that if there were groups bent on putting an end to golfing, oh let’s say because they destroy the environment with all the fertilizers, etc., then golfers would be looking for ways in which to protect their interest too. Silly, I guess until someone puts the shoe on your foot.
