Right now I'm just going with ‘wait and see’. Right now there is plenty of dust and hype about this thing, but I think at some point certain social and economic realities are going to start setting in, starting with ‘there's no free lunch’ and ending with ‘you get what you pay for’. You can argue pretty sounding philosophies with liberals all day long, but that doesn't tell you about the actual long term results of their policies. Right now, the ‘right wing’ is all a-twitter with ‘free market’ blah blah blah indignation, but let's just see what happens with time and real life.

I would much rather get into a car with some kid who is out cruising on a Saturday night looking for shortys.

That might depend on why you were hanging out at a bar alone until 2AM in the first place.
