This is a great start. Nothing happens without a beginning. Regardless of the shortcomings, it is better than no bill at all.<p. The President was great on the podium. In this partisan world that he faces, he has the courage to demonstrate that he does want to work with both sides. He is big enough to know that even if you do not get all you want, the ability to get the cooperation of the likes of Kennedy and George Miller is worthwhile. Baby steps get you there.

How so? It increases federal spending, control, size and power. Is that what they call "Conservative"? We call it somwthing else in Yell County.

Psssst peekaboo. Sometimes it's just a flat out waste of time to try and get someone to see another point of view, or even to convince them to consider slightly modifying a strongly held position. But take heart....lurkers and others read your comments too.
