Floor of Hou= se fairly empty

Voting on "BS" resolution to recognize Mars rover scientist

Does not accomplish much - handing out awards

Passes unanimously

Takes 15 min to vote on

 

But 5-6 committee meetings going on; on more important issues

 

Much of the = real work done informally to; by milling around

 

Weird proced= ural rules

Always talking about yielding time

Or taking a voice vote and then a member requesting written votes

 

Informality = in coming to decisions

 

$$ in politics=

So much is at stake

Cost effective for companies

 

Interesting that most $$ goes to people that already agree

To get them in over the other guy

Not change their mind

 

True; have not thought about it this way
