Anyone want to talk about the current political situation in the US? I've got my drunk on and this is like the pubic area of the internet for me, so discussing things while drunk here is A-Okay!

PS: Screw you Charnley, nobody cares about your 'omfg politicians got free gardening in the UK' thread. Over here we've got real corruption.

Sure, do you want to talk about Sin taxes? Where the government wants to tax people for eating/drinking/smoking? Behavior control to the extreme.

Unfortunately I'm sober now. 
Thanks for the bump Lance. That is as good an argument for limited government as any other that I have laying around.
Thug, we should just start taxing the taxes until we choke the federal government down to a more reasonable size.

I happen to live in one of the most corrupt states in the union (if not the most corrupt). It doesn't seem to matter what party either.

That's a fine Idea, but then they'd start cutting the budgets of programs we actually need (roads/defense/research into homosexual behavior in Spain in relation to the sale of boa's on ebay)

Kahlann, I live in Illinois. I would like to dispute your claim. The corruption here is so much a part of the culture that they actually regulate it as if it were just a fact of life. They have an entire system of corruption here that is written into law called 'Patronage'.
Thug, we should definitely look into the sale of boas on Ebay (both the pet and fluffy kinds). Since they will be cutting those budgets anyway (the numbers will grow but the inflation rate will be well above the increases) I see no downside.
Hey there Panhead. As much as I would love to get back to fresh fruits and vegetables, California is an economic pit from which there will soon be no escape. I'll never move back there, however I believe that I'll be down in LA in October and plan on visiting a hospital in Stockton near the end of that trip. I wouldn't mind running up to Sacramento one evening. When I have more details I'll let ya know.
