Friday, February 10, 2006The other day I had an interesting conversation with O, my old college roomate. (Grammar check: my former college roommate. An old roommate would imply AARP cards and dollar-fifty admission to the movies. Or at least Jeremy Piven from PCU After lamenting the plight of The Great One, we tangentally got to discussing National Public Radio. I think it was because he said "All Things Considered..." I, a conservative hard-hearted douchebag, commented "Dude, such stuff my taxpayer dollars pay for that I don't agree with." He (an East Coast squishy liberal) rejoindered with "Dude, look at who is president. My tax dollars are going to all sorts of things I don't agree with." Ultimately, we concluded that the great thing about our republican democracy is that everybody gets The Shaft. In a dictatorship or one party system (like Red China), a small group of elites decides whom to fuck over. In our system, a small percentage of your income goes to financing political ideas / policies, but it is evenly distributed among things you don't care for and things you think are teh 4w3some. Unless you are an anarchist or Randy Weaver or something. Three cheers for democracy's version of The Shaft. (I hear that cat Shaft is one bad motherfu-- Hush your mouth.) posted by Nate on 12:22 AM link
