    Whoosh would imply I didn't get the joke, expanding on the joke would surely imply that I got the joke wouldn't it?

    You mean every 2 years right?

    We vote for the president every 4 years, but 1/3 of the Senate and all of the House get elected every two years. If more people voted on the off years, we might have a chance of changing things for the better, but the majority only vote for the president, who has no real power.

    I don't use them, but many coworkers really love their Sprint plans. I have been pretty happy with VZW, but I would not join them anymore as they no longer offer unlimited data.

    then Microraptor [wikipedia.org] with asymmetric *flight* feathers on its arms AND legs (the "four-winged dinosaur") and which experiments have shown could probably glide. It still had teeth, Velociraptor-like claws and a long, dinosaur-like tail.

    Oh god, don't tell that to Monroe, imagine his reaction if he knew there were flying raptors too!

    Well, how about this, you police the world, and we let it fall apart around you? Oh yeah, we tried that around WW2, and you all came running to us. There is a reason the US is in every conflict, because most of the time, we are asked to be there.

    Mica describes how he deals with security checkpoints. "He won't go through a full body scanner at an airport because 'I don't want them circulating pictures of my beautiful body' all over. He said he opts for a pat-down, and just 'closes his eyes and imagines a beautiful female.'"

    That sure sounds like he has the same issues as us "commoners". If he has to close his eyes and imagine a beautiful female, then it follows he is just as bothered by it as us. Also, he wouldn't be avoiding the scanner if he wasn't as concerned about the cancer risk as the rest of us.

    ATF shouldn't be a government agency, it should be a convenience store.

    IRS is needed, and DOD is mandated by the constitution, though it could use to be decreased.

    IMHO...private did a better job. It is also much easier to sue a private company for having their employees grope you than it is to sue a gov agency.
