Nope. Just means you think differently from those that named whomever for the most admirable woman in the world.

Frankly, the entire political spectrum has become way too much celebrity and not much in the way of celerity, but please hold the celery.

I completely agree.

Think of it like this. If your household borrowed from the bank 40 cents on every dollar just to pay the bills doesn't it make more sense to cut some of the bills? Cancel the cable TV! Cut back on purchases. You cannot live lavishly off the bank forever.

The government only collects X amount of dollars in taxes annually so all programs should fit within that X amount of dollars!

A lot of this could be fixed by giving each side a flintlock pistol and having an old fashioned duel, to decide or better yet just shooting every politician and starting from scratch.

There is probably a down side to that. I just can't think of one off hand, but I am positive there must be. :D

Agreed.

They can't raise taxes because that'd cause A LOT of small businesses to shut down - and in effect they'd LOSE money.

Or, we the Subsimmers could draft a constitution, and buy Washington DC.
