All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.

Yep. That's about right. It's not over yet, but it's not good. Like the cap & tax bill, the passage in one house doesn't guarantee enactment into law in the form approved, but we can't give up yet.
One thing that shocked me when I read it was a headline that said, "Congress defies Americans" - that's exactly what they did, number one, and number two, these people are elected to serve, not to defy the will of the American people about who should control huge chunks of their lives. Who do they think they are?
This is the link - http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/420012090.html. One interesting outcome on this, though: the bill that passed eliminated any taxpayer funding for abortions. There are some who think that such a bill signals a change in Roe v Wade. We'll have to see how it shakes out. I'm just ... appalled.
