Very interesting thread, but I'm not going to elaborate on how I feel about the bill because others have already made all of the points that I would make myself. That being said, I will go ahead and say that I am not too concerned about this bill because I don't think they will ever get around to it. I'm sure there will be many *more important* things that get placed ahead of it on the agenda. If it actually makes it to the floor, then maybe I will start worrying about it.
