Bliss to be Legislated

Well Denver voters are going to vote on an initiative that is designed to reduce stress in the city. Well how legislation can reduce stress and tension is beyond me. Some of the suggestions put forward by the author of the bill on how to accomplish these things are:

1. yogic flying: "Outwardly, it looks like a bunch of people hopping around on a foam mat, but inwardly, they are building up a surge of brain wave coherence, and that can have dramatic effects on an entire community."

2. playing sitar music or "soothing primordial sounds" in a public building can decrease stress "even if there is nobody there to hear it."

And I thought all the loonies were on the West Coast.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. Albert Einstein
