shunning the crude yeasty warm and flat beverage of choice among the cons, they cultivated grapes and eventualy developed and reifined the vinters art to the level of port, cream sherry, and cognac, thus intensifying the attraction of the most desirable of the females, who were also attracted by the fact thay were less likely to have their kids slapped or be dragged around and beaten themselves.
these thoughtful men developed the conventions of bathing, shaving and using an awareness of hygiene that led to the widespread acceptance of soap. they favored long hair and used pleasant smelling flower extracts to further their appeal to the opposite sex.
in order to pursue the finer things in life, they extended oppurtunities to the cons and provided meaningful employment for those who had known only the savage brutality of hunting, and trained the cons in the ways of sheepherding, agriculture, tavernkeeping, meatcutting and woodchopping.
they developed and utilized the two wheeled cycle and evolved a competition of racing, but the cons did not particpate in numbers due to the prerequisite of wearing revealing lycra tights, which aroused the cons homophbia. they preferred, instead, a bastardized soccer game of territorial injury infliction they called "merkun football".
eventualy the thoughtful men would transport themselves in swedish steel conveyances known as volvo, and perhaps appropriately in the phonetic sense, saab.
meanwhile, the cons developed a personal style that relied heavily upon the crude wagons known as "pick 'em ups" and favored flannel and bib overalls as the primary fashion statement. they adorned their vehicles with dual rear wheels and mudflaps, upon these were emblazed the outline of states such as wyoming, or the female caricature in repose. they voted for the neocon party, as did their offspring, as they knew no other way.
it is often speculated on the relative advancements these rustic cons might make if they were to avail themselves of the higher learning and teaching by example of the thoughtful men, but to this day such considerations continue to remain largely academic in nature.

But I lean towards the repugs.... {Hey Wurm ...LOOK>>>> I used your word} I am not happy with the Bush gang at this moment. But I also see economics as the base for a society. And the REpubs are suppose to have the attitude that I like. I believe most social programs get boggled down with government efficiency that is really not all that good.
I believe most social ills can be solved with good jobs. I am a union backer but I would never work in a place large enough to be able to justify a union. Just a personal choice.
Personal responsibility goes a long way with me.

If we help the small business person achieve success through less taxation and more relaxed policys then the working man will benefit. But if we saddle the beginning small business person with unrealistic policys then he is trapped in a world of working for someone else. Then the corporations and boardrooms take over..... The corporations then vote in their political choice thru PACS and the like. We all lose.

You make a valid point here but; I believe, right or wrong, that the people who BENEFIT MOST in our society ought to not have a problem w/ contributing a more in taxes as they enjoy a considerably better lifestyle than the lower rung of citizens. There are the "well-off",the "rich", the "uber-rich", and the "obscenely-rich" A graduated/progressive tax scale is equitable. A flat tax is repressive, plain & simple.
