So all you have to do is save up somewhere in the vicinity of $20,000 (plus living expenses. You won't be working while you're campaigning.) just to get some low-level government position. You then spend 4-10 years escalating your way up the line till your somewhere that you can make decisions. Now if you're a clean and respectable politician, you will almost instantly be rejected. If you ARE elected, you be ostracized and put on some board overseeing the clam population in Nevada. So yes, you COULD make decisions if the entire system wasn't based around the fact that the people in charge don't want to give up the power or money they have accumulated.

What I love even more is that tollways were originally meant to pay for the construction of the roads that they existed on. And then the governments running them looked and said "Holy cow! That's a lot of money. Roads done...Hmmmmm." And now they're permanent features. Never feel bad for blowing through one of these money-sucking machines.

I don't have a problem with us adding genes to plants. Hell, start adding genes to people! Put computer chips in someone else's brain first...then I'll jump in! Let the furries live their dreams!

Where I have a problem is when Monsanto comes in after the fact and says "Well, well, well...awfully good looking crops ya have there. Be a shame is something were to happen to them. Like say our dominant gene with a kill switch enabled in it were to cross pollinate with your current crop....a reeeeaaaal shame. Guess we have no choice BUT to sue you. You're in cahoots with Mother Nature to steal our IP after all. Oh and your barn looks flammable too."

I think even you have it a little wrong. Give me pure Darwinism/survival of the fittest as a government/economic system. We might be living in an apocalyptic wasteland but we'd be on the moon for sure! Plus I'd pay good money/barter good chickens/bash good heads to see the elections for the next President in the THUNDERDOME!

The appreciation of the average visual graphisticator alone is worth the whole suaveness and decadence which abounds!!

Working...
