Do you feel A.I. should be approved?

Do you feel A.I. should be approved?
Simple "yes" or "no". Don't even have to sign your name to your vote or make a post saying why. Just curious about the number here who think it should be approved.
People will feel one way or the other about WHETHER it should be approve. However if it WAS approved only a stallion owner with his or her head in the sand would "refuse" to go along. It is a case of understanding and going with the market. Digital Equipment Corp. rode the crest of its VAX into oblivion, refusing to embrace the changes in its market place. I may NOT WANT AI but if it was approved I would not let it stand in my stallion's way.
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....

Makes me wonder who makes up the majority of those against AI -- Stallion owners or Mare Owners. I suspect it might higher end stallion owners and commercial breeders in general.
It just doesn't seem logical to me that a small regional breed-to-race mare owner would be against it knowing it could mean the difference between breeding to the best stallion for the mare or the best available match within traveling distance.
I also wonder how many would take Rogue's approach to it. Prefering live cover, but would do AI for those mares a great distance away.
BTW, I know I'm way behind times here since the book is about 4 years old, but did anyone/everyone read $tud? Interesting look at how breeding is handled throughout the country.
