If only....

If only ignorant posters could have received an adequate education.

If only ignorant posters were able to distinguish between a good law and any-piece-of-new legislation will do.

If only ignorant posters had even the most basic familiarity with how the "game" of American political processes works.

Thank you Tina, you've saved my time. Even Gov Jerry said we are loaded down with plenty of crappy laws and that "we don't need a law

for every issue". They know how to crank out unlimited crap. We first would have to elect competent individuals to write relevant laws. Deadlines mean little to them. I prefer quality over quantity.

If Only,

Beware simple approaches to complex issues: they rarely achieve the desired effect and often create other problems that are worse than the first set.

Slow and sure. That's the way.

Tina..I was simply making an absurd example of a situation that would make a point that congress could compromise and would if they were forced to.For you to call me ignorant and to have such a nasty,arrogant post says a lot about you.Maybe the fact that you did not understand the point of the post is a reflection of your intellect or lack thereof.People who are well educated usually have a little more depth and do not interpret things so literally.Have a nice day.
