It's not a case of "giving in" to the pressure. On the contrary, I think we all can honestly admit this bill has ALOT of momentum behind it this year. When asked, we need to have VALID options for a solution and not just take the stance that "they can't do this to us." Like it or not, they CAN do this to us and they WILL unless we can counter with a responsible solution to this problem.
Yes, the economical impact as well as the other impacts a law such as this will have is mind boggling. BUT, how often do our elected politicians THOROUGHLY think through a situation before acting? I can count hundreds of laws that have been passed both on the state and federal levels where the braisn in Washington didn't think through the whole problem and ended up with a bigger mess than they had before.
All I'm doing is getting everyone here to start thinking and preparing for the day we ARE bound by the laws of this country. And don't be surprised if these politicians start looking for valid arguments from our side this coming week. We need to be FULLY prepared and not just stuck on the "they're not taking my pets" mode.
