The actual dialogue that we should be having has been eclipsed by the pathologies of the American public. This post is for arguing the pros and cons of the actual bill, ok? Civil dialogue, only, please. Stick to topic and argue the actual bill! Ready Jonathan? Ready Phil? Ready Michael? Anyone else that wants to join in? Here is your forum. Make your case. See if you can be fair and adhere to the rules of civil dialogue. Maybe then…
