Maybe he knew that he couldn't get to first base with the legislation for political reasons and didn't want to marginalize himself as a Don Quiote. Maybe he is a realist with wisdom and knows his limitations. I am sure he gave it a good shot as he did for me (successfully) as an Optometrist in the 90's and did my profession a LOT of good.
