I consider myself lucky to have a mother who was always home when I was. Unfortunately, it's a rare situation.
I'm going to stop before I drag this way off topic.

I don't mean to drag the thread off topic as you tried to prevent, but this is an
extremely important point. The reason why these predators, terrorists of all extremes, etc. have so much power is because there are far
too many parents out there that just don't give a darn care. Too many of them try to keep on living the life they want to live after the birth of their children (materialistic possibly), and often forget that its an 18+ year committment. Like you, I was also a bit lucky as well, mom and dad were always there to keep me on track and out of trouble.
Getting back to the bill in question...
The other problem: it doesn't matter which extreme the majority of people that run government are on, for today's government is far too disconnected from the demands of its constituents. BUT, this is not to say that its constituents have not been far too ignorant depending on it and going off of false beliefs (the government can do anything, the government is responsible [what happened to responsibility in the hands of the parents, citizens, and working people, hobbits, elves, dwarfs, etc. etc.?], the government this, that, etc.).
The thing is, it is very dangerous when people put too much responsibility into the hands of government, for responsibility can rather quickly convert to power, which can easily be abused.
2 cents.
