Indeed.  I see positive, fact based and data driven policy advocacy as most productive.<p>Fear, worry, shame based advocacy does more harm than good.  Generally, of course.  Sometimes we need those things, but not as norms in the political dialog.<p>When we are FOR things, it seems easier to work together on them to expected outcomes.  Being AGAINST things is much easier, but so often leaves a hole we hope will be filled by market forces and that outcome will be better, or worthy.<p>Sometimes it is.  I believe in markets, but they do come with inherent conflicts of interest that can be difficult to manage.<p>On this issue, it seems necessary to have a plan and a just and reasonable outcome goal.
