I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I'm number 10. That's not as bad as in bitches.

That doesn't exonerate you, though, Gus. You're an evil creature and should be punished.

Hec, you know, you can be punished too. In fact, I'm putting you on my list. So there.

Pfft. You've got three kids. By the time you remember to put my name on the list you'll have forgotten why. I'll probably go on the "Send Cookies" list.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Heh. I've dropped out completely. Not a single post in Bureaucracy 2.

...Ah. Bugger.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Which speaks well to the process of crafting a proposal, or maybe we aren't as many different types of wrong-headed crackpots as we'd thought.

Well, it's also a matter of no alternative. We need a fix and put out a vote on "A" as the proposed fix.

Additionally, a lot of people who are ok with the way things are just don't participate in the votes.

Crap. Hec has me figured out. I'm ALWAYS confusing my "punish" list with my "send cookies" list!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No alternative? The people who voted against each proposal certainly thought there was an alternative. Just not enough people wanted one.

Whereas my aunt merely extracted remarkable synergies from the two.
