Birth Control + HBP is a good combo if you're looking to have a stroke.

As a painter, I challenge you to make something as arresting as Pollock's Lucifer, or one of the Rothkos. Trust me, they may look simple, but they're not.

Have you ever thought to yourself "there should be a law about that?" What are some things you'd put in a bill to your state legislature about?I'm not sure how it works out, but my most brilliant idea so far is requiring community service for those who accept unemployment/TANF benefits/foodstamps. Hopefully to help mitigate the cost of paying for certain state functions. Instead of paying people to pick up trash, why not have those who are able bodied and unemployed pick up trash until they find a job? My mom thinks any parent with a child enrolled in a public school should have to volunteer 8hrs of their time per year to school functions.I'm blanking out on the rest. I'm like, THE worst brainstormer ever so any help would be awesome... plus this could make for some interesting conversation
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe." Albert Einstein "A politician is a person who can make waves and then make you think he's the only one who can save the ship." Ivern Ball
Why do most liberal political arguments boil down to someone shoving their pointy little nose in my face and saying "Well, you see, we've decided that personal responsibility, self-reliance, and independent thinking are old-fashioned and very passe'--not to mention dangerous and problematic!--so we insist you desist on all of the above at once!"
