“A Nebraska lawmaker is so fed up with constituents crossing the state border to gamble that she proposed going to war with neighboring Iowa.[...] The proposed amendment read: “The sovereign state of Nebraska declares a state of hostility with the sovereign state of Iowa until such a time as the state of Iowa ceases the unjust and relentless appropriation of the resources of the citizens of Nebraska.”

A columnist from Iowa has written a very funny reply to the bill that is well worth a read. Quoted: “What could you possibly offer that could top us? Legalized prostitution? If you did, I’m sure you’d legislate the life out of it until it was as soft-core and boring, too, the sexual equivalent of keno.”
