The problem is simple: voters in states like California WRECKED their once-great states by putting into power the nuttiest of the nutty nutballs.

Now that their state is unlivable they move away.

The problem is they haven't learned anything and they are about to pack and bring all their dumb ideas and bad voting habits with them.

They find states that are not such a mess, because the voters made smarter choices, and they move there. But they keep their poor voting habits.

Do we just let them ruin another state?

That is why, a few years ago, I wrote The Wyoming Citizenship Oath, for new residents. You can read that oath father below.

But listeners to my radio show wanted more. "What about a citizenship TEST?"

That sounds like a great idea. If a new arrival in the state can pass the test then they can take the oath and stay.

Here is what we came up with.

1). I ___________ hereby understand that Wyoming is a quiet state because there are so many guns. 'An armed society is a polite society.' I understand that I will not be required to own a gun, but it is sort of seen as an embarrassment if I don't own at least six or more.

2). As a citizen of Wyoming, I_____________ understand that I will be expected to earn my own way. It is expected that I will help those in need, but being in need of help is never to be a permanent condition.

3). I ___________ understand that I am to mind my own business, as those around me are expected to mind their own.

4). It is understood that I __________ am expected to make fun of Colorado, even if that is where I escaped from.

5). I ____________ promise that I will never ask where the "safe space" is. I will "cowboy up" and deal with it.

6). I ______________ accept responsibility for all that I have done and take responsibility for all that I will do.

I have printed this oath and am sending it to the governor and several state legislators to make it something that everyone has to sign before they move here (NOT KIDDING).

Vintage Wyoming Movie Posters

I love walking down the hallway of a modern movie theater and looking at the old posters of vintage movies.

That got me thinking about old Westerns based on Wyoming. How many of those posters are still around?

Many are, and many are for sale online, if you want to decorate your home, or even home theater, with classic and mostly forgotten movie posters.

Most of these films were made before the era of television. Hollywood was cranking out these things as fast as they could.

The plots, the scrips, the acting, directing, and editing were SO BAD, they were good.
