So please trust me when I tell you that the reason you've heard nothing about the "Small Government Act" is becuse it has about as much chance of becoming law as Osama Bin Laden has of winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

Moving to Cow Hampshire must've turned you into a pessimist. We passed an income tax rollback last year and probably would've passed a revokation (sp?) of the excise tax last as well had the proposal not been tied to the Pike toll question.

I give this a 55% chance in MA, esp. since Carla Howell's political star is on the rise---heard she might even make a run for governor in aught two.....

Not at all, actually. I'm quite optimistic about the prospects for the Granite State, as long as we can keep the Southern Hordes at bay (or at the Bay State border)...;}

Evidence to the contrary:
1. Noam Chomsky and fans.
2. Senator-for-life Teddy Kennedy
3. Barney Frank
4. Elitist John Kerry
5. The Big (gest ripoff in the history of the US) Dig
6. The Boston Globe
7. Harvard and the Peoples' Republic of Cambridge
8. Colleges Against The War
9. One-party democratic state
10. Massport (one of the worst security records in the country)
11. Inbred patronage system.

Someone else can carry on from here.
