Most of the people who have nothing better than to do with their time than "rec" a thread on an internet site do indeed appear to like this bill.
This impresses me about as much as 20,000 bussed in teabaggers marching on Washington.
The real movers and shakers on both sides of this issue are laughig at people like yourself.
