OT-Political crap!

I love to see the bantering of the committed! (or committable) from both sides. And the statistics! Remember that 63% of all statistics are made-up on the spot! Anybody can quote or misquote anybody to bolster their argument. There are only a few real truths left:



  1. Anything that you subsidize - you get more of.
  2. People vote for whoever they perceive will benefit them the most, tempered by a few factors.

I say we need a philosopher-king or an AI to run things.


Back to the dictator, eh?

There's an appropriate Lazarus Long quote about this in Heinlien's "Methusela's Children", something about dictatorship being the perfect government -- but who chooses the dictator?

Usually I'm not all that happy to see November roll around, but I sure will be glad to see the US election over and done with. And spare us another Florida debacle...

Make that last "tempered by a few facts." A very few facts.

It would be ok as long as people are permitted to vote 'none of the above'

Why, me of course. Guess who the one and only candidate on my ballot is.....
