I'm happy even if it doesn't get implamented, again. Especially in the first few days of vote couting all the news on tv were all - NO is gonna win on this blah blah blah.

When things I vote yes on go through - makes me feel all warm in fuzzy about voting.

I, too, would be one of the people to benifit from this so I'm really, really hoping it does get implemented, finally.
