It will be a legislative Schrodinger's cat killed by the quantum mechanics of the legislative process!<br /><br />Arbitrary rejection of scientific fact will not cause us to rise from our seats today. But with this bill, pollution levels will rise. Oil imports will rise. Temperatures will rise.<br /><br />And with that, I yield back the balance of my time. That is, unless a rejection of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity is somewhere in the chair's amendment pile.janinsanfranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548452260456734928noreply@blogger.com
