How Representative Kaye's name got attached to this, nobody knows, but it was
actually written by Libertarian writer and former U.S. Senate candidate Lewis
Napper.
Taking the research a step further,
www.snopes.com explains: "Kaye's name
likely became associated with it through the innocent act of finding the
article in his inbox and liking it enough to forward to friends. People tend to
leave official-looking signatures intact when they forward e-mail, and his
name's remaining with the piece beyond the initial round of forwardings could
easily have created the impression that he was the article's creator. Kaye is
quick to give credit where credit is due..."
I've gotten this diatribe from acquaintances even less interested in
attribution, who were happy to claim it was written by, for heaven's sake,
George Carlin. Any day now he'll be credited with the Bill of Rights.
Of course, this Bill of No Rights does include:
ARTICLE VIII:
You don't have the right to demand that our children risk their lives in
foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience.
I hate 90% of forwarded things.
