I understand what you're saying. I agree that what happened last session was pretty awful (although, arguably, the MSP interpretations of the law are doing worse damage to us than the law really did). But the context of how it happened most certainly has an impact as to what happens this session. That's why I am somewhat less paranoid about our chances. It's not just what happened, it's how it happened.
Unless you can propose a way to drive the ball enough to actually get a first down, going on the offensive at Annapolis is nonsensical. We played an OK defensive game given the opposition; we got absolutely nowhere on our proposals. We might be able to play better defense next year, but the offense is still looking pretty horrible. Face up to the reality of our position: we are not going to succeed on the offense. There is no chance with the current legislature. If you feel differently, please spin us a believable story of how it could happen.
I agree. I was just doing a little "wishful thinking". Changing the faces in Annapolis is the only way we will ever have a chance to do anything. We need to show them that last year wasn't a fluke and that the days of passing laws before we had a chance to know what happened are gone.
