Maggie's Farm

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.

Re: Women and doctors. That woman needs jail time for child abuse. What a sickening story. Second thought, the doctor deserves no leniency, either.

We're recycling terms again? When did National Greatness Conservatism stop meaning the conservatism of Teddy Roosevelt, and become applied to the 90s?
