68. I love your work, Andy, but I'm not convinced that this is the right way
I'm worried that if we get some change, either the public will lose interest, or the powers-that-be will absolutely block any further change.

Alternatively, if we accept the premise of the bill, as is, then we need to scrutinize the language used to make sure we detect and urge a cure for as many ambiguities as possible.

Many statutes are written in a way that creates more problems than solutions, because they are not carefully vetted by lawyers (on our side) who know how to craft legislative language.
