Let's leave out the left columnists, shall we, and talk about the real world.
Practically and pragmaticly, it moves the ball down the field a few yards.
This is how change sometimes happens ... in the real world. What I
would like you, with your Olympian certitude, to explain is why the
mere mortals of the Black Caucus were so against the original
agreement. Surely these "lackeys" were fighting for their community
and not for mere self-interest. Maybe you read about it in your
black magazine? Of course, Republicans thought it mattered
because they believe 1 dollar should equal 1 vote. I still don't
understand why the ACLU is so worked up about it.

What's that famous quote from Galileo? And yet it moves?
