Great points, Chris. And that is a GREAT idea above...I'd love to help implement or present that case if you're working on it (or HCU). We'd have to be meticulous, polished, and aggressive when presenting it. AND we'd have to have some academics on board and on our side.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how best to propose this to folks in a position to make it happen. Right now my plan is a slideshow (maybe coupled with a certain movie about alterna, if it ever gets finished!), providing copies to all the state legislators (TX) prior to next year's session. The show will be footnoted as required/practical and I'm soliciting inputs. I copied part of our conversation here into my notes so I can reference it when putting the thing together.

If you're in HCU and look at their forums, I hope to eventually post a draft there. However, I'm still VERY behind both at work and at home--you take 2 weeks off and everything falls apart!

This is a great thread; too bad it's gone completely away from this forum's topic.
