Re: OT: CARP passed- this sucks.

Well, it might not be as bad as it could have been - but it just goes to
show that Democracy has this one single problem.  It requires 
participation.

Thanks for those of you who took the trouble to contact their
congressman/senator about this.  Shame on the rest, alas, but if you feel
remorse at this unfortunately late point, get in touch with your
congressman/senator to voice your disappointment and concerns.

business as a result of this passing)
