I agree with you in regards to those who crafted this bill. They know EXACTLY what they are doing. However, there are still a great majority of people in this country who TRUST the government to do what is right, and good (don’t even get me started on how STUPID those people are...). For THEM these will qualify as “unintended consequences”. If you enter a debate with these people and insinuate that their representatives are evil - you’ve lost the debate before it has started, really. [Even if it IS the truth!]

Yes because they read the NYT and know what is really going on... then they give you a ‘look’ and walk away — thinking “What a nutter that guy is - will not invite him to any more of our parties!”
