What sort of event needs to occur for us to all pull together?

I hear rumors that the government will eventually come after the trillions tied up in 401K's and offer an annuity to the holder. Any thought's on that?

A party with a hand in executing a scheme like that ought to just jump into the nearest porcelain bowl while asking someone nearby to pull the flush handle.

Someone supposedly asked the famous bank robber, Willie Sutton, why he robbed banks. He said, because that's where they keep the money. If the government gets desperate enough, who knows.

The funniest part is, he thinks he's winning! We lead him around like sick pony, and he thinks he's in front!



Bring it on, idiot!



BTW, Assup, I don't mind living in your head, but the stench in here is awful. And it's very lonely.
