Actually, I didn't mean to insult you. I meant to imply that
Congressmen
are a little better informed than you.

Better informed. That probably explains why they quickly adopt
legislation
which is virtually guaranteed to divide the country and keep the Supreme
Court busy for decades. They must think about these things long and hard
in
between cocktails.

They have better access to Top Secret documents than you or I...unless, of
course, you're a writer for the Washington Post or NY Times.



Let's try this, to clarify things. Tell me if this statement is largely
true, or largely false:

Legislators often enact laws to cater to the current fears of their
constituents, even if those laws are poorly thought out and are almost
guaranteed to be eliminated or modified soon thereafter.
