Hey! You started it! You've been around here long enough that that shouldn't have surprised you!
I'm a bit disapointed in Peter though. He's dragged his mind out of the gutter lately.

I know... it was STILL bad... Spiff, One of the most hilarious moments in my life was when my cousin finally decided to tell me he is gay... He was 37, never married, I had never seen him in love, he is a great dancer (almost a cliche', as he has said himself), and women LOVE him. He also makes 400k per year as an executive with a Fortune 500 company.
So... At another cousin's wedding, he tells me he has something REALLY important to talk to me about. After he stammers around it, I asked him "Are you finally going to tell me you are gay?" ...
He looks shocked that I had figured this out... (see above, great looking... etc... and no women in his life).
I still abuse him over that.

He makes $400K a year and dances...what woman wouldn't love that? Six digit incomes are VERY sexy.
It's amazing how some people who are SOOOOO gay, don't realize how obvious it is.
Everyone always thinks I'm straight. I have zero fashion sense, I'm overweight, I don't dance, I like Ozzy, I enjoy fishing, working on cars...

Spiff ... Yep... If I could do one thing different, I would have learned to dance when I was in Junior High... Chicks dig that...
And yes, Cuz (his name from now on here) drives women nuts. He also missed on the fashion sense thing... his partner handles that. But women see this 6 foot, 2 inch, 200 pound man, successful and charming... and see Mr. Right. They automatically assume his partner is just a friend along for the ride... (ok... no smart ass comments about the ride part)
My wife typically gets three requests for a fix up whenever he visits... there are a lot of disappointed women, to say the least.

Craigsub;
Yours is the smartest post I have yet seen in this thread. The reforms you mention would go a long way toward ensuring long term economic growth in this country. I would add to your list a tort reform which makes the loser pay all costs associated with a suit. That would keep a lot of the frivolous lawsuits off the books.
What frivolous lawsuits you may ask? How about the silicone breast implant suit that put Dow Corning out of business despite the fact that there is not one iota of scientific evidence that silicone implants cause any kind of disease. How about the suits that drove all but 3 pharmaceutical companies out of the vaccine business? How about the tobacco lawsuits that essentially established a tax on cigarettes, while making several dozen lawyers into billionaires?
Are we as a country any better off without Dow-Corniong? Are we better off with only 3 of the dozen companies making vaccines still in the vaccine business? Are we any more healthy because cigarettes cost a buck more a pack? the answer is a resounding NO! The only people that these large class-action suits benefit are the lawyers who prosecute them.
This country has to get out from under the thumbs of the trial lawyers. Unfortunately, most of our government is made of trial lawyers, and their main job, it seems, is to pass laws that create more jobs for lawyers.

Mhorgel ... Not only would I sign off on Tort Reform... I would look at it as a form of protecting society. The simplest way... The losing ATTORNEY has to pay the fees... not the indivudual in the suit... You would see a LOT of frivolous suits go away.
On a funny note, First I have a gay cousin, now I have to tell you my wife is an attorney.
I will go on the record now... If we start discussing Rodeo Clowns, we have NO Rodeo clowns in the family...

PM, unfortunately our enemy in this case does not agree with your position. We are dealing with a mindset that says it's OK to recruit children to walk onto a school bus with explosives strapped to their bodies. What would you suggest we do with these people. Put them in time out? Violence is the only language the enemy speaks, and there is no way to beat them without violence and killing. The loss of life on both sides is tragic, but I would rather see a few innocent Iraquis killed than a lot of innocent Americans.
