On The Whole, I Prefer Not To

The Pyramids Were Built For Pharaohs On The Happy Theory That They Could Take Their Stuff With Them. Versailles Was Built For Kings On The Theory That They Should Live Surrounded By The Finest Stuff. The Mall Of America Is Built On The Premise That We Should All Be Able To Afford This Stuff. It May Be A Shallow Culture, But It's By-god Democratic. Sneer If You Dare; This Is Something New In World History.

Naturally, When It Comes To Voting, We In Texas Are Accustomed To Discerning That Fine Hair’s-breadth Worth Of Difference That Makes One Hopeless Dipstick Slightly Less Awful Than The Other. But It Does Raise The Question: Why Bother?

I Never Saw Anything Funnier Than Texas Politics.

In The First Place, Any Group Of Folks Willing To Make Asses Of Themselves In Pursuit Of A Good Time Should Be Commended And Encouraged: The Spirit Of Human Frolic Needs All The Help It Can Get.

What You Need Is Sustained Outrage...there's Far Too Much Unthinking Respect Given To Authority.
