Letter: Larger gene pool, better senators
(Leah Hogsten | Tribune file photo) Sen. Mike Lee speaks at a Utah public lands forum hosted by the Sutherland Institute, June 29, 2018, in Salt Lake City.
If only unintentionally, Sen. Mike Lee could be onto something in calling for more babies. By enlarging the gene pool, the odds increase that someday we might get a mentally stable U.S. senator from Utah.
Let’s get crackin‘. It can’t happen soon enough.
