Subject: Re: Now Congress is involved (was Doria Count?)
Date: Wed, 04 Aug 1999 17:15:38 PDT
Kent et al.:
Do you really think Congress is going to jump up and do something?  Let's 
get a grip here...
I have worked on the Hill, talked to many Congressmen, etc. and they all say 
they will "look into it."  They draft a press release and then they let it 
drop (or punt it to someone else).  SOP.
Regardless, just for shits and giggles, what (realistic) tangible regulation 
could they propose that hasn't been instituted by the industry - whatever 
agency you wish - already?
Individuals in America have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of 
happiness -- intelligence and common sense are not necessarily birth rights; 
people will continue to get themselves killed in whatever activity they 
choose - government regulated or not.
Regards,
Mike
