LOL. (Of course, I will deny ever reading that you spent your afternoons in the pub if questioned by certain parties.) Here's a fun little test to see how much Judaism you've absorbed: http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/ I'm a paganbudditarianquaker(democratjungian) Say hi to Sue and your gang!

Mostly, it makes me sad that I'm wanting it. Then I feel weak if I actually get it. If you really want to be depressed about the American fascist state, you should read "The End of America". If you want to be depressed about our food supply, you should read "The Omnivore's Dilemma". I'm trying not to eat corn in any of its derivative forms. That's really hard. It freaks me out how many people believe in God and will do crazy things as a result. *sigh* Things were going so great in the '90's.

Thomas Jefferson ran one party and newspaper. Alexander Hamilton ran the other party and newspaper. And only white, male land owners were allowed to vote...plus, they voted for "electors" who were not bound to cast their votes as their districts had voted. Let's just say that the Supreme Court has taken over this role. There are things our founders got right...assume people in power will try to exploit that power, try to limit the damage they can cause, create a government that allows for nonviolent change, and communication (the US Postal Service) is a key to successful governance. Let's just say that Jefferson knew himself and the other founders well. Technology changes very fast. People do not.
