I guess it's no surprise that one of the more-or-less "good guys" in the Senate can propose a law so ambiguously worded that it looks good on the face until a good lawyer takes the time to rip it apart

Looking for "good guys" in Washington is like Ronald Reagan looking for "moderates" in Iran. On crypto, and on taxes, our interests and their their interests are completely opposed. We should not care about, or take any interest in, the slight difference between the "moderate" and extremist members of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The best bill we can ever hope to get out of Washington is no bill at all. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.
