What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

It's about time we legalized and all carried switchblades. After all, you never know when you will unexpectedly will run into a t-bone or porterhouse steak. Better yet, maybe Joel Kleefisch will offer you some of that prime rib of birds, Sand Cranes!
And we all know how quick-acting citizens have stopped mass shootings by pulling out their knives.
Is a permit required to carry a switchblade?
No permit needed once the new law goes into effect.
Will they be allowed in the Capital? My guess is no. Seriously have any of these legislative idiots read their local papers? Law enforcement offices have their hand's full trying to keep their communities safe. And they are doing it on very inadequate budgets passed by these same legislative idiots. Now every encounter for law enforcement has even more danger. In most communities EMT's can't respond to known dangerous locations until the police show up. Now every scene may have the need for police oversight.
Switchblades and guns should be MANDATORY for all of us to carry EVERYWHERE. After all, you never know who will stop the next mass shooting. Thank GOD that Scott Walker has been anointed our holy leader. Why don't more of you bow before this new Son of Man and God's latest begotten son.
Oh yeah, there was that screw up about mistaking God's orders to run for President by spending $90,000 a day that he didn't have...
I learned to shoot handguns, rifles and shotguns in my youth. I wouldn't own one for anything. Knives, however, are a different story. I love them and own more than 100, if you count my kitchen blades. This law actually will legalize some activity I sometimes engage in, when I figure that if I get in trouble for carrying a big knife it probably saved me even worse trouble.
Having said all that: This is just plain stupid.
Why did God tell Scott Walker to bankrupt his presidential campaign with a negative cash flow that put him 2 million dollars in debt?
