It's a very simple concept that
- President Obama
- Eric Holder (the flippin' US Attorney General for Christ's Sake!), or even
- Janet Napolitano, (a former governor of Arizona!)
...have apparently missed.
That is the concept of knowing the subject before opening your mouth to speak.
I don't consider myself an intellectual by any means, but if I don't know a subject, I STFU until I do. I read the bill. Three times so far. It is the easiest bill I have ever read.
I was trying to discuss this with a co-worker the other day. That person had not read the bill, but exclaimed it would lead to racial profiling. That drew a look of puzzlement from me. The other co-worker in the room didn't want us to discuss it any longer because they can't stand to hear opinions that differ from theirs (IMHO, based on 4 yrs of discussions with this person).
