There’s a bill pending in the Wyoming House that authorizes creation of an alternative currency should things go kerfluie.

An amendment approved last week on that bill also allows for Wyoming to hold its own military draft, raise and maintain a standing army, aquire strike aircraft and get an aircraft carrier as well.

I thought that last one was kinda interesting, ’cause Wyoming’s pretty much land-locked… right?
