I read it. Yes but in the deconstruction/analysis, you STILL don't support your position WRT the objections raised, you switch over to "maybe it shouldn't be done so fast." But then you say the bill "will have to go to conference committee and then, probably, both chambers of Congress for another vote.." So it's not being passed *into law* at midnite by voice vote, it will be subject to investigation and review, Leahy is out there doing a good job, and finally - does your Wired readership know that you think so little of them that they can't understand some of what this debate is about? Killfile away, and I shall do same. ----- Original Message -----
Unfortunately for "citizenq"'s tender sensibilities, sometimes it actually makes sense to call a fool a fool. This is one of those times. "citizenq" clearly does not understand the difference between a news article written by the general public that does not permit line-by-line analysis of the bill and more technical commentary that it suitable for other fora. I did write a detailed description of the bill for Politech, where such an analysis is appropriate: http://www.politechbot.com/p-02518.html
"citizenq" has proven itself someone who needs killfiling.

Fool.
"Doesn't take criticism well."
I linked to the transcript and posted the text of the bill myself.
I offered in-depth coverage. Compare and contrast to wire coverage of the same legislation to achieve enlightenment.
Is this where you set the bar when lives are on on the line? You post a link, post some text and then proclaim the sky is falling, or this thing or another thing, without analysis? My point is you have to do better.
"Doesn't perform according to his potential."
Never mind I'll do it myself.
