     No hard feelings, of course. I should try to think of a less divisive bill to introduce next, though.

Aye ftr, don't know how I missed this.  Much closer to passing than thought and probably deserves a second look in another senate

True, though it is still an improvement over the current system, and the bimetalism was only put there to appease the vice-president.
