The plot thickens... if I have interpreted the message from our "resident insiders" correctly... it is okay with "The Industry" to make things even more difficult for "outsiders" to break into the inner sanctum! Someone in the Senate or House must have been convinced this proposed deal will be good for them, too. I wonder what Oren Hatch thinks about this idea? (He is a song-writer, I'm told.)

Perhaps a sense of fair play will sweep over the halls of power and all this hoop-la will be history that never happened... but I doubt it.
