When we demand miracles, or indemnity from every misfortune or bad decsion, *we* pay the bill. Of course, the alternative theory is that the Federal government is properly a tool for removing money from people who have it and giving it to people you like, under the guise of "the common good".

Not sure I get your point with the poster-children pic. And I'm *really* not sure it's neither staged nor photoshopped. ("Frank! Frank! You need to misspell one of the words; it doesn't look like real graffiti at all! Just leave the 'e' off of 'please'...we gotta shoot this, blog it and get outta here.")

I'm sure it "represents a higher truth" though.
