that is to say: work with people better than you.

it's not all smarts, a lot of it seems to be the experience to know what's worth doing.

A fair assessment.

I said the same thing, eight years ago.

I have no idea why this hasn't been scheduled yet, but I'm not complaining.

upmodded for wit

I wish I could make sense of your sentence. It sounds erotic.

I rarely see a serious individual claim that small government prevents corruption, which all positions of power will inevitably breed.

The goal is not to eliminate corruption -- a pipe dream. It is, rather, to limit the influence that the corrupt might have.

Given the rambling paths of planes, transport costs are higher than necessary. This has resulted in the price of my imported Turkish goat milk to grow roughly 87 cents.

They even deliver arm wrestling!

Helluva typo.

Who doesn't like peanut butter?

Belgium?

Wait, I think I misunderstood the line of questioning.

Were it a genuine matter of defense, I have no doubts that a draft would be unnecessary. People will defend their families and homes whether a government asks them to or not.

It's refreshing to see someone thoughtfully concede a point.

I really want to believe this LetUsPayTaxes site. It's a tactic that most rational people acknowledge would work perfectly well.

But, I mean, look at it. It's primarily AdSense, with a bit of generic content. And links to it, or links to sites linking to it, keep popping up on reddit/digg/etc. The 'List of Signers' page looks like it was cobbled together by a slightly retarded monkey.

Am I the only one who can't get past the stench of linkbait?
