      Heh, I wonder if anyone has done a study comparing the relative safety of "escorts" vs. picking up random chics that just want to get laid in bars?

      Wait a minute... Isn't Syc running for pres. as well? Or is Syc running in '08 and therefore out of office by '16? What the hell, I'll vote for one of you bastards regardless...

Sycamore has no chance of ever getting elected because he is too liberal. My plan is to get on the Republican ticket but court liberal voters. A true "compassionate conservative".

I'd go, "what's the sense in making prostitution illegal when it's costing us money instead of making us a boatload in taxes?" Republicans would go "Damn, that's a good point." Bible thumpers would secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and the liberals would herald me as a champion of human rights. (As Carlin puts it - Selling is legal. Fucking is legal. Why isn't selling fucking legal?)

Then I'd work real hard to legalize marijuana, because even though I think drugs are a <b>bad</b> thing, I think the war on drugs is <b>worse</b>. What a waste of money and it doesn't even work. We're throwing money away. Hurrah! Thanks, NR. Real winner that one was.

Anyway, that's why I'm getting out all this asshole-ish-ness when I'm young - so I can be calm and collected later on, 'cause I'm gonna need it if I hope to make a dent in these huge roadblocks.

Dave, I'd vote for you at the drop of a hat. Shit, I'd pay real money just to see you in a political debate.

"In this afternoon's heated presidential debate, Mr. David Ham had this to say, as he levelled a finger at his cowering opponent: 'This pathetic smear upon he universe, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens when God has to work on deadlines.'"

Where can I get a "Vote Ham!" button?

Obviously I would need to keep that to a minimum.

I believe most people have good intentions. For instance, gun control activists have <b>good intentions</b> (fewer dead people). They're just extremely mislead when it comes to achieving their goal, and they've been essentially brainwashed to the point of not ceding an inch, even when presented with facts that are contrary to their incorrect opinion. It's an amazing thing to see.

I couldn't run in '08 if I wanted to...I'll only be 33.

I have no intention of running for political office...I don't think many folks would like my stances. Though I disagree with Dave's assertion, which I'll rebut shortly.

Maybe in 2003, yeah. But the country shifts often enough that I would just have to find the right time to slip in there.

The same with you...no way you'd get elected right now with your current stances. But if people continue to become more socially liberal, you have a good shot in 13 years.

That stance would probably win you Democrats and liberals, but I don't know if you could ever get that past Republicans. You'd wind up causing a conundrum a la the state sodomy laws, and we don't even need to discuss the Bible-thumpers.

From what UT has said to me over the past week, he sounds like he's doing well. I'll be over at his house Sunday to witness the destruction first-hand. :)

Undertoad 11-07-2003 06:38 PM

Thanks lj. She moved out 6 days ago. I'm finding it's absolutely fine, because she spent so little time with me and spent so little love on me, that I have low expectations for it in my life. This makes it easy to get on from day to day.

And this is my house now!

Unless I can't keep it, which I am slowly coming to realize won't happen just by hustling and getting more business. There is not enough business to be got. I am going to look for other work.

Today I submitted a resume at ITT Tech. It would be a fine way to make enough money, teaching Linux and networking and such.

elSicomoro 11-07-2003 06:39 PM

No Sheppsie! Nonononono! Say it ain't so Toad! A real job? What the fuck?!
