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.
On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.
Sometimes I think the Brits have a better idea, the inner workings of which I probably don't understand completely. But it appears that they can "call an election" any time they get really fed up with the Prime Minister and his party.
Great idea, don't you think?

P.S. If I've got this wrong, will someone please correct me?
