It seems like the problem is that the Medical Freedom groups want to win the war on the first day. It takes time to win a war. Win this first battle and then it sets the stage for winning the war by getting the full freedom we want in future legislative sessions.

Exactly right. The amount of energy that has been expended on this issue is astounding. I read SB 252. I liked it. It wasn’t as good as 222, but I could live with that. For all the reasons Jeff mentioned. Our answer is to elect better legislators so they make better sausage.

I call BS. Everyone says this ALLLLL the time. "Elect better legislators." "Local, local, local."

Blah blah blah.

We had a local election two years ago. No one elected anyone better. No everyone is whining this same old pathetic mantra, yet they ignored the fact that there were better candidates. Maybe the truth is it's time to admit that an electoral form of government is a sick, sadistic joke.

I agree with this. Often you have to do things incrementally or else it simply doesn’t happen.
