Working against time. . .

I now know how Jeannie felt about her A paper, since I am in the same situation. Since my paper's thesis is directly concerned with cap-and-trade legislation that will likely occur this year and is proposing various compromises to get it passed, I either have to hope that a suggested bill gets filibustered or does not get submitted. I really don't want a filibuster, since that would go against my entire point of working to combat climate change via the legislative process, so I'm begging you, Obama and Congress to just cruise until May 15. Seriously. It would help a lot. The goal was this year, not in the next month, 350 ppm tipping point aside. I'll just keep reading news articles about how stupid people hate 100% auctioning or more aggressive mid-term caps or tying a large portion of the proceeds of the auction to a permanent working families' tax credit and hope that you, government, will try to be a bit more considerate to my Asian steamed buns.

Yes, I am willing to negotiate the ecological balance of our planet in order for me to graduate this Spring. This is what law school does to people.
