Reality has not escaped us. Are you encouraging inaction? Again, if we are going to have that sluggish mentality, we might as well say fuck it and go back home. Our reality should be that, yes, we are faced with an obstacle but we need to be hopeful and fight.

Smooth I give you all the respect in the world and I accept your positions. I'm just saying sure we must pressure and fight, but at the moment I feel this bill is a distinct near impossibility unless the house repubs loosen up, that is all. All I am saying is I don't want hopes to soar too high only to be crushed, I just don't want to see people on this forum become like some people I know who have amazing job offers worldwide9 i know a man who was offered a job with a hi-tech firm in Mexicali that would pay $30,000 USD yearly but refused) but refuse to take it, lost in a cloud of unrealized dreams. I just don't want there to be overt excitement and expectations that this has a high chance of passing, because sure anything could happen, but often in politics it doesn't. Humans do have unlimited freedom but research proves we actually abide in a constrained pool of predictable actions, congress is no different.
