Let me state my position clearly...which I believe most people received, but a few did not.

I was not making an argument for or against this bill. My intention was not to make a statement suggest that "this" or "that" would occur if the bill was passed. My only point was to suggest that anytime we propose change, we should always carefully consider what that change might cause. In this case, the proposed change could have positive or negative effects on biological issues, economic issues, and social issues.

My feeling was that this aspect of the issue was not receiving any commentary...and I feel that this aspect is extremely important.
