which is before us now. If it is bad, if it is a weakness
of principal of the compromise, then I am sure my marriage
of 12 years will last no more than two weeks. I am sure
I would have abandoned my three children years ago, I am
sure I would have never settled a law case and I am sure
as I drive home tonight I would run over many people. I
think probably a day would not go by without some form of
compromise. I believe that each of the persons who spon-
sored the amendment before us still believes as firmly as
he did befoTe what he believed before. I also believe and
in my experience that whenever a number of people from each
side can stand up and say that the other side got all the
best of the deal and that we got all the worse of it, the
agreement was not very bad at all, and under those circum-
stances, I hope we will go to the compelling vote, push
this amendment over, clear up the matter because as
! Delegate Penniman says, it is not very important and we
are spending an awful lot of time on it.
