Our reasonably new state government has a number of conspiracy theorists on it. Apparently fluoridated water is a mind control device, daylight saving causes the curtains to fade, and vaccination is a UN plot to ensure world domination. I'm waiting for the legislation to declare that pi is 3.
The problem has become no one has the money to keep their bought politician honest. After all, the definition of an honest politician is one who stays bought. They swing from of position to another and then leave the bedroom and go to work and swing from one position to another. And ours have already tried to define pi as 3, the square root of 2 is 1.4 and the Earth is flat.
