3|oh, this is a bright idea. 7|You try regulating my mom. Not me, no way. 6|I prefer to call it a "living wage." Less bureacratic and more humanistic. 9|i 9|like 9|drugs 9|. 3|like, i'm SO sure. 3| 3|

6|Those who do, have. Those who don't, bitch and say that everything should be given to them. 14|Hmm. Only if *I* get to define "common sense". 6|Those who have rich parents just laugh and laugh. 15|I laughed out loud when I read this. Why not bring back a hereditary aristocracy and debt servitude while we're at it? 15|This is to inform you that there was a typographical error when we created Plank # 15. The correct title is "No, Taxes for the rich." We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. 3|It strikes me as irrational for a society to outlaw murder and then go ahead murder in "the best interests of society. 23|Funny. I tried to look up the words "polotics" and "poloticians" in the dictionary and couldn't find them. I must've gotten a defective dictionary. Hmmm.... 17|This is absolutely sick! This is typical Spend-o-crat garbage! My listeners and I are not going to stand for this kind of abuse at the hands of a few health-crazed liberal elitists. - Rush Limbaugh 21|Actually, I've always thought it should be legal for women to carry swords. More of a visible deterrent, more selective damage possible. Probably too skill-dependent, tho. 23|Oh please. React to the content, not the spelling. Damn pedants. 23|Maybe, but in this case, the spelling displays more intelligence than the content. I was being nice. 21|Ah, what the hell? Why not just give everybody The Bomb. After all, the United States probably has enough nuclear weapons stockpiled to arm every man, woman, and child in this country. You want a deterrent? We're talking mutually assured destruction, here! The really scary footnote to this is that as I was writing this, I just happened to be listening to 1999 by Prince (don't ask why. I'm to lazy to get up and change the CD) and it was at the part of the song where some little girl sings "Mommy, why does everybody have the bomb?" Pure coincidence. Freaky, eh? Feel free to insert your own ominous-sounding minor 7th chords anytime. 14|While we're at it, can we retroactively abort Bob Dornan and Phil Gramm? 19|Um... perhaps you haven't noticed this, but legislators don't actually make our laws. Lobbyists do. 7|I was regulating your mom last night. It was pretty darn good, too.

Oh, come on! Someone had to make a joke about it. You were all thinking it. You know you were. 24|This is a good start, but doesn't go quite far enough. I believe need the harshest penalties for the following infractions:

Enforcement of these, by draconian measures, if necessary, would lead to safer roads and a better quality of life for all Americans. 6|Living wage...hmmmm...Is that euphemism anything like when the Chinese hacked off the heads of their intellectual class and called it a "Cultural Revolution"? Now THAT'S a humanistic term! 15|Just tax the Democrats. They seem to enjoy taxes. 16|The Soviets already tried this. Look where it got them. 25|Instead of taxing consumption (which is good, economically), why not tax waste? If you had to pay by the pound, how much would YOU throw away? 21| 21|You're getting your philisophical fodder from Prince? What is the name of the straw that you have chosen to grasp? Please, at least have the decency to quote Zappa if you must quote musicians. 25| 25|This is not what is normally meant by a consumption tax, which is about trying to stop people from spending. By "resource-consumption", I mean things like needless packaging and so forth. In a way, it is a tax on waste, collected through prices. Remember, though, there's more "waste" involved in the typical manufacturing process than whatever ultimately ends up as garbage disposed of by an end user. The cost of dealing with ALL of that should be imposed right at the head of the waste stream. 16|The *Soviets* tried strict enviro? I don't think "strict" should be taken to mean "punishing" here...
