While watching Chris Matthews or some other screaming head politico, my wife lamented about us having a divided country. The election was 50-50, some issue is 50-50, some other issue is 50-50. I told her my opinion is that all the easy questions are already decided and not worth debating. No need to scream about the 60-40,70-30,80-20 issues. Those questions are quickly decided and although a few may gripe about them, no one really expects to change them.

So if the poll cited is correct, then this issue will be quickly implemented. Our elected officials will pass a law this winter. The opposition will fret for awhile, but finally realize it's futile. Is this what you predict? What if it doesn't work out that way?
