> Parenthetically, if you want to get a Ronald Reagan elected over a Jimmy Carter, this is how you get a Ronald Reagan elected over a Jimmy Carter. You wave a document like this around in front of a TV camera.

That this can work only makes me sad about the intelligence level and sanity of the population. Documents like these don't get crafted because the government has nothing better to do - it's usually a hotfix applied to a hotfix. There's a law, then there's some "entrepreneur" who uses a technicality to get around its spirit, and then the govt needs to patch the exploit. Rinse, repeat. It's not difficult to understand, but sadly, I don't expect most people to do so before outrage instinct kicks in.

And yet it never occurs to those on the left to ask if the real problem lies in the underlying premise ("There's a law.")
