One Nation, Indivisible

Remember when you were a kid you would roll a drop of mercury out onto the sidewalk, then hit it with a hammer?

instantly. Some force has hit our nation with a hammer. Liberal progressivism? Progressive liberalism? Hardheadedness? Unwillingness or inability to be reasonable?


(I know what you are thinking. He played with mercury? Addled his brain, it did. Oh, yeah? We collected scrap lead, melted it down and made our own sinkers, too. Know how to make shot?)

I wonder how we lived without Uncle Sam hovering over us directing everything we did and telling us what we could and couldn't eat? The new required light bulbs will have mercury in them and, if one breaks, a several step process is required for clean-up. Go figure! Maybe the out-of-work people can train as hasmat experts and make their livings cleaning up broken light bulbs. I'm sure this would be a bigger success than attempting to clean up Washington and rid that place of the giant egos.

Vee, truth, a nanny state is not the most desirable of circumstances. I like your idea of training people who need work to clean up light bulb breakage. Now, figure out how to repair a broken government.
