3. When I saw a news clip about some Iraqis claiming their elections
had been rigged, I thought "welcome to our world".


When we're done bringing democracy to Iraq, can we have a little here? :shrug:

5. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
What can I say? I have these bizarre fantasies about people being treated with respect, getting paid a living wage, having access to health care, getting a decent education (including college), having enough money to live on in retirement years, having their privacy respected, having freedom of and from religion, etc. I guess I just need my meds adjusted. :shrug:

6. Let's go live in New Zealand
:D

That'll take care of all that.

Someone should open a DU commune down there.

7. Funny you should mention a commune
Just last week my friend Mike was saying he'd like to live in a commune. I was sort of thinking he had a good idea there. It would be really nice to get away from all of the BS and live with people who share the same general values.

8. It does have its appeal, if it was done right, I guess
Clothing-optional, of course. :D

12. I wasn't laughing about that
At least not yet.

I was just chuckling because it was amusing that you should mention such a concept, and because I was imagining the idea.
