Wyoming's House Bill 85, which would have - among other interesting things - empowered the state to institute its own military draft as well as issue its own currency in the event of a national catastrophe, has been defeated. A narrow margin (30-27) decided the final fate of the so-called "Doomsday Bill," a favorite topic of controversy in recent press.
Just think, only three more votes and perhaps a likeness of Wyoming's favorite son Jim J. Bullock might have one day smiled up from a $20... while everyone else in the Cowboy State was pressed into military service.
Kind of makes you wonder what would have happened without all that press, doesn't it?
