Which brings up the very discussion my friends and I have had for years at
around wvery election-time--who do you vote for?
Do you vote for the guy who is going to be good for your society, but not
probaby good for you 'cause he'll tax you more?
Do you vote for the guy who wnats to cut taxes, thus keeping your money in
your pocket but that's not so good for social justice at all?
Do you vote for the guy who's good for you today, but not so good for future
needs, a la social security?
Do you vote for the guy who wants to better future needs at the expense of
todays wants?
We never get to a good concensus--for the most part, we vote for the guy who
sucks the least.

There can never be too much of *some* good things.
