I realized something looking at the title of this thread. One can see one of the major problems in this country.

Instead of praising the bill or vilifying it..... the OP decided to make it a "Another bill to make conservatives go apeshit".

It's not just this thread title but all over the media, here, practically everywhere. And that is very frightening.

If one goes by just the title to this thread, "Another bill to make conservatives go apeshit", one could reason the only reason the bill was written was to enrage one party, not to better the country.

When we take the title of this thread, it does nothing but egg conservatives to anger and almost an instinctual dislike of the bill. In doing so it could be a great bill (I think there is serious potential as I stated above), but you already pissed off one side and now, the bill is not seen for what it may be but rather as "Another bill to make conservatives go apeshit". Thus starting an argument and debate over a bill that may not have had any true opposition to begin with.

This in turn makes people look at it, what it costs and then get riled up and thus it becomes a bigger issue than it ever would have been.

The GOP does it to.

Very interesting.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
