Shaggy said it best.

What REALLY sucks is that the lawmakers in this country (in both parties) are so astonishingly ignorant that they really don't have a clue what any of this means and so when those lobbyists come out sounding all reasonable they go with it.

I'd contact my senators - but they're the two stupidest people in Washington and ALWAYS go with "corporate" interests.... but if you live in a more civilized place, by all means contact yours and explain these issues to them!

So naive. They know perfectly well what all of this means. They are just good doggies and do not bite the hands that feed them.

Yeah, I've met my senators - they really are idiots. I'm sure plenty of the politicians DO know what's going on but plenty barely understand the concept of email.

Unfortunately, so are the voters.
