Maybe not in Texas.
Maybe I'm saying that no matter how hard we try to fix government, it won't ever get fixed. It's too complex. Too impossible. Guess we just have to learn to live with it. I really don't know how one measures the success of government. At least in private business, success is usually measured in terms of monetary profits. Earnings. I'd like to think that government success might be measured in terms of service and achievement of the common good. But we'd probably never come to agreement over what's the common good. I suppose I could learn to live under virtually any kind of government -- capitalist, socialist, communist. I'd just try to make the best of it. Knowing that I could do very little, if anything, to bring about change. So I accept death, taxes and government. At best, I could try to move to another country with a government more to my liking. But I think I could find a way to live happily almost anywhere. Maybe not in Texas. --Jim Broede

I don't mean to berate Texas. It's only that I feel highly uncomfortable when I'm there. I just try to pass through. As quickly as possible. I prefer to be out of the state by sundown. Because I think Texas is overrun by blood-sucking vampires. And doesn't help that George Bush resides there. --Jim
