I agree with your assessment. If this bill passes, voting, from that point, is almost a moot point, something merely to amuse us, but will mean very little.
People get the government they deserve. If this bill manages to become law, I'm planning on being amongst those that will help speed our destruction; the legalization process will become very big business.
The game will be afoot, and it will it be everyone for themselves to try and accrue as many assets as they can before flying the coop for greener pastures.
