Jim2,
So how can we “act” w/o thinking first?
I agree that this is a worthy cause to discuss. Approx. 1/2 of the folks will be “right” and 1/2 will be “wrong” when it’s settled, and that will likely be long after I’m gone.
I’m seeking what is good about the proposed (therefore subject to modification and improvement) legislation not just tossing it out in entirety because it goes “against” some line of thinking.
The “solutions” to this dilemma will lie in politics short of some discovery of a “control knob” and who knows if that will occur in our lives, or if at all. So my thinking is based on “using what we’ve got” and building on it. I see no less shame in my thinking that than I do in the AGW sides “take no prisoners” approach or the skeptical side of effectively the same. My Papa used to tell me if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. We’re still digging, so please forgive if I’m trying to figure out a way for us to stop. It does not have to be this bill, but it must start somewhere. For some it appears continuation of the game is priority, for some their journey has ended. Some of us can only do the best we can by voting in the most sound way we know how.
So, Jim2, other than just tossing away all government of any kind, please share the seeds of your solutions. I for one know I don’t have the answers but I am willing to toss out thoughts towards progress. Some will be blown back at me strongly, and that’s a learning experience. Some may have a nugget of value. Yours?
The more perspectives offered the better, and I appreciate yours.
