Too expensive?

If past behavior is a reliable guide, SB-608 will probably be described as too expensive, and not allowed out of committee. Too expensive to protect the civil and human rights of a persecuted group by modification of 647(e).

It would be more accurate to say it would be too expensive to recognize and respect those civil and human rights long denied. It would be more accurate to say the reversal of the blatant disregard for the civil and human rights of a group widely treated as less than human would be too expensive. A group that includes veterans that are placed in harms way by draft dodging politicians.

To be expected, I suppose, given a government founded on the concept of some humans being created equal and some humans being considered 3/5 people and 2/5 property.
