What is up with the names of these bills? "Protect America Act"? Do people not feel their intelligence is being insulted when asked to support something with such a title?
- rhizome 13y agoGenerally, it's pure insidiousness. When Congress wants to push something through they always give it either an innocuous name like the PAA, or something nobody will publically disagree with, like a "Keep Pedophiles Away From Children Act," which mandates things more mundane and far-reaching than the title's goal.
