C'mon, JoSH, this is called "Democracy".  Can you say that?  I knew you
couldn't.  Reagan didn't carry Minnesota, but does that mean we can
(or should) form our own government?  You vote against tax 'X', tax 'X'
passes, now you bitch about it.  I really feel sorry for you.
Go live in a cave, why don'cha.
