Shhhh....the OAS is listening.
There is cause for alarm here, boys and girls. The question is, as always, "How much alarm?" The truth of the matter (great phrase) is that we seem to have caught the government trying to slip (another?) one by us under the radar. It's a big one, but now it's more out in the open than it was.
If our Euro-Cousins are any guide, their governments tried to keep the public more or less out until they had this EU thing all wrapped up and packaged for those voting in nation-by-nation referenda. We are a long way from that and have a whole 'nother thing to keep our eye on. For starters, unlike Euros, we have a whole 'States' Rights' issue to help shield us from anything truly nutsoid.
But folks, IMHO, you should take this very seriously, and not 'dis' those who take it more seriously than you might think appropriate. (Whole lotta dat goin' on!)
Personally, I take this so seriously, that I am willing to forgive a bit of panic on the part of others and hear them out. Still learning.
