Well. Can we just get rid of the federal government, acknowledge that our country is ruled by corporations, and just openly turn it over to the best one we can find? (You know I'm kidding, right? Not about already being ruled by corporations, but about giving in.)
Anyway. When can we have it in Springfield, MA?

I dont think the idea of getting rid of the Federal Government, or at least reducing it back to its original size, is an idea you should joke about. Helping the homeless, while important, is not the job of the Federal Government, nor should it be. All powers not granted to the Federal Government in the Constitution are reserved for the States and the People.
hmmm...as I get older, I lean more in your direction....but corporations are no substitute for a central government.
