And economics! Everything that governments and businesses do is based on economics, and yet in one of the richest and best-educated countries in the world, the average citizen knows bupkis about basic economics.
Agreed.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Pfft. I've been on real secret service lists! Or rather, I've imagined that it would be terribly interesting and romantic to be on such a thing, back when I was a wacky college student and the lists were much less of a real issue than they are now.

On that note, I'm out. Don't let the imaginary jackbooted economics thugs bite!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I never took economics until grad school, and it was pretty practical.
And I'm pretty sure the church I grew up in was on some Watch List -- and was broken into by the FBI or whoever -- back in the day. Not as much fun as you might think.

Chilling effect at work. If only this was the first place you had seen it.

What are we looking for here, full disclosure? Sure, I only get on Buffistas when my brain has locked up on my bill-paying thing and my lady friend is all wrapped up in the thing that that makes her neurons really fire and is thereby unable to hear my random crap.
Can I help it if I am semi-focused?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Partially.

It's not that important. Most of the stuff I say isn't. That doesn't stop me much. I have no partner to inflict this upon and my mom has no problem telling to shut it, so you all luck out. Especially since my muse has a cabin on the Eastern Shore or something and has buggered off for what seems forseeable.
