What makes you think legislators are stupid? Why should they care whether or not you go on roller coasters any more? In a few months, or at least by election time, this incident will have blended with every other "legislators are stupid" incident rendering our votes a shameful prop for an incestual system of spoils.
If this passes, legislators can argue to senior citizens, young mothers, Christians against Roller Coasters, etc. that they "saved" how ever many lives they can conjure up. Legislators aren't stupid, they are only trying to keep their lucrative jobs and hope for the chance that their new found celebrity will give them more money, power, your interns.
I read an article in the New Yorker recently that discussed the Greenland Ice Core project. It mentioned that global climates are cyclical and during one decade the average temperature changed something like 15 degrees F -- in one decade. According to the sources quoted (I read this over about a month ago), the global weather patterns change dramatically every 10,000 years or so (I think my memory is accurate, but it might not be) and we're near that 10,000 year mark. This gives a different view of "global warming."

Ctrl-R in Bash helps a good bit. It's a reverse search just as within emacs. It searches for the last command matching what you type in.
Speaking of, I find it very helpful that Bash recognizes a lot of emacs commands, eg Ctrl-A, etc.
Not much, but helpful for me
