Just chiming in to remind you all that income taxes for the top 10 percent of earners in this country is at historic lows. After the second world war the taxes were twice as high as they are now and the tax rate for the top five percent under Eisenhower was more than three times as high as it is now. THAT is why infrastructure is weaker now. I don't give two shits for Obama or what ever republican he'll be replaced with, but the CLASS struggle in this country is being lost because conservatives and liberals are being pitted against each other through political fear mongering and it's easy to see how they do it, just look at Frank and Artie. Um... ok; don't LOOK at Frank and Artie, especially during the gay stuff... but listen to them argue. They should both be on the same side fighting the wealthy. Bring back the middle class. Bring back the capitals gains taxes. And tax the wealthiest 10 percent with a alternate minimum tax rate. OK. Done ranting.
You guys have no fucking idea what high taxes are, ask John Lennon what he paid for income tax in 1965. But you can't. He's dead. It was a lot. Like 78 percent. I don't remember. Brain fever. Where's that blunt? Oh... here it is. Where's Brian? Hey Brian you gotta try this. Ramble... mummble, meh. cough, cough. Hey, that looks like escargot, did I cough that up?

I am serious. I believe that we will eitherwake up and start working on an earthly utopia ala Star Trek, or we will eventually kill each other and with only a few survivors there will be peace and prosperity. For awhile. Then we will find a way to subdivide the survivors into two groups and we start all over again.
All men are my brother, just look at the DNA.
John, I did not get that, pass it again.

Brian is correct, I am waiting for the day when we
don't punish those who, for whatever reason, have
had less of chance in life, than those who have been given every advantage. A time where we don't penalize people for being geographically challenged, or treat those with disabilities, like social pariahs. Survival of the fittest is fine for creatures unable to reason, as for humans, we were endowed with a certain amount of compassion, that we seam to willingly discard at the first sign of financial success.
A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link, it stands to reason, that those in power have a choice, lift up those on the bottom, or risk getting beaten to death with a broken chain! The revolution is coming baby!

I'm married.
And I don't see why anyone else should be happy.

Maybe by making others happy, you can glean some smal shred of it for yourself. Then bury it so know one knoes you have it. Just your happy little secret.
