We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Or, as one of my heroes said, "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys." - P. J. O'Rourke, from Parliament of Whores
Well, I want to entrust the government to take care of me because by the time they get around to doing anything, I will have lived way past my time. Yay!
