I just checked the news and it turns out that, for once, the news is good.
I'm not stupid enough to think this really means anything. There's still the Senate to worry about, and an asshole with a veto stamp after that, but this thing that just happened, this is good and I don't want to hear about any of the rest of it.
I'm crying about this. I mean, there are actual tears tracking down my cheek right now.
"Congratulations" isn't really the right thing to say to me here - I mean, I didn't do anything, there's nothing to congratulate me on - but say something nice to me right now, please, because I'm really fucking happy about this, and I want people to be happy with me.

Never thought I'd see anything even close to this kind of move, especially from this government, but I guess there is always hope.
I'd like to see the progressives parley this into a more forceful pro-science trend. We'll see if that works out.

Maybe for once the government will actually do the right thing and allow something controversial to be done, especially if it has the potential to help millions.

I'm happy about this myself. This is a step in the right direction (in my opinion, at least).
I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Hehe, so this is why my 'big brother' brought this topic up with me yesterday. ^.^ It seemed pretty out-of-the-blue then.

'Government' and 'right thing' in the same sentence just doesn't seem right. That being said, I do hope that the powers that be in government see that this bill can improve and save the lives of others. Stupid right wing conservatives.

I was quite happy to hear about that as well. :)
