[ca-gw] Progress Does Not Come Easy

[Banner, Brad]

I just wanted to share these words of wisdom with the group and will let
you draw your own application to the graywater issue:

Progress Does Not Always Come Easy  

by Jimmy Carter

As a legislator in my state I drew up my first law to say that citizens
could never vote again after they had passed away.

My fellow members faced the troubling issue bravely; locked in hard
debate on whether, after someone's death had come, three years should be
adequate to let the family, recollecting him, determine how a loved one
may have cast a vote if he had only lived to see the later voting day.

My own neighbors warned me I had gone too far in changing what we'd
always done. I lost the next campaign, and failed to carry a single
precinct with a cemetery.
