How Green Was My Campaign Fund

Playing both ends against the middle - and vice versa

Those bills again are:

• 2013: HB 2261
• 2014: SB 459 and HB 848
• 2015: SB 1334 and SB 1349
• 2017: HB 1760 and HB 2291

I didn't check all the bills mentioned, but the ones I did check were all passed by percentages in the 90s - like a couple of votes short of unanimous.

The old saw holds that sausage-making is an ugly thing.

And the closer you look, the uglier it gets, especially when big corporations have government locked in a grip that seems unbreakable. 

But it's not any worse now than it was in the early 20th century.

That doesn't mean we just sit on our asses and wait for shit to get better - that should be obvious, but that's exactly what an awful lot of us seem to be doing.

Anyway, it's not easy; it's not supposed to be easy; the fact that it's hard to do is partly what makes it worth doing.

"We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win."
