The kitchen door is open. If you can be open and accountable enough to answer some questions, listen to some doubts, and take a little bit of heat without resorting to a tantrum then you’re welcome to come on in. If you’re selling something that isn’t what you say it is, try another sucker.

It’s not much really. But, I’d like to think it is just a small kernel of evidence, that if you plug away at something long enough it can actually begin to change. There has been a lot of policy and politics discussed and debated on these web pages in that four years. Some have made an impact.

There’s something in that, no matter how small it may be, that gives me a glimmer of hope for those who continue to work on digging out from under the mountains of regulation, restriction and unintended consequences of government past.

In the real world, we all have tasks to perform and deadlines to meet. If we are not successful, there are consequences, including the possibility of losing a job.

But the legislative process is not like the private sector. In the private sector there is a boss – a person who has the final say. In the private sector, we essentially have two choices at the end – do what the boss says or find another job.
