Ya'll missed it.. My post aint about the bill in question individually, but about all bills of similar nature that have ever been passed.
.....and the significance of my first line is that if you'll notice, ALL THE BILLS go through this same process. Whitehouse will talk about it, forums will rant and rave about it, and the same damn conclusions will be drawn by the same people over and over again. YET NOTHING EVER CHANGES.
There is more here than the bill, the people arguing over the bill, and the speculation as to what the bill might actually "do".
Seriously... these bills...
They aren't the friendly, do-gooder processes that people perceive them as, they are indeed ways for people to take money from other people in ways that would otherwise, were it not for the law, be illegal.
In this way, the individuals of the country are more and more placed in a position of "fight dirty or suffer economic failure." This, I will describe as a rot of sorts, and with particular relation to the "soul of" or "spirit of" or "enthusiasm of the individuals within the country for" the country.
To say it another way, "The individuals of the country must accept that their actions in almost all situations related to the compliance with government mandates will impact and degrade another in his efforts to do the exact same thing, as required by law. "
These situations cause a lack of respect for the law, which are directly absorbed by the children of this country, who quickly get the idea that, "Hey, if my parents hate it so much, why do I HAVE TO MESS WITH IT AT ALL?"
When that happens, it becomes possible to inject further social disease into the system by way of rules and regulations regarding "bad children" that "don't care about anything." Once that happens, kids belong to the government as much as their parents do, and as such, are almost entirely separate from their parents.
I ask you, seriously, am I wrong in my observations? Is this not true? If it is true, is this not terrible? Does this not matter? Is it acceptable to us all to live indifferently from one another, caring not about any subject but those created and discussed by our "leaders"?
Is it acceptable to ignore that which is most threatening, in favor of that which is said to be most threatening?
