It's the end of the world as we know it...

Politics, philosophy, the law, current events, left leaning debates, religion, baseball, football, pop culture, growing up Greek, random events in my life...whatever hits my mind at the time.

So wanna hear gross? I have my ID for work clipped to my pant pocket. One of those bungee things so that I can swipe it as necessary. Anyway, today, for the first time ever, I dropped it in the toilet. Which normally would only be eww gross. But no. Today there was a sign that read, "Ladies, the water was shut off on Saturday 10/30. The toilets were able to be used, but not able to be flushed. We apologize for any inconvenience." Umm...inconvenient?? Try gross.

Second, Halloween. First, why don't I have the types of friends who throw Halloween parties? Why are they always on tv? Who are these peple? I haven't had a Halloween party since law school. I never thought that law school would be the pinacle of my social life...I am officially pathetic.

And sticking with that Halloween theme, I was amazed at how parents go trick-or-treating with their older kids. I think my parents stopped when I was around 10. But here, teenagers are still with their parents. Wow. And most *aren't* with friends. And I am amazed that kids are so...greedy. I have this big bowl with candy, and I will let them choose any two that they want. It's amazing how many kids will take more than that, an entire handful. Give me a break. On a side note, I have to throw away my Halloween socks. I have had them since 1994 and they are so worn. Holes in them. Bye socks.

I took a political compass quiz and learned that my beliefs are on par with Gandhi, Nelson Mandella and The Dali Lama. Nice... Specifically, I am Economic Left/Right: -5.62 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.64.

A poll of Europeans found Israel, North Korea, Iran...and the Unitd States as the greatest threats to world peace. Great company we have there. Two of Bush's "axis of evil" are TIED with us for second place. Nice.

    Economic Left/Right: -4.25
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.38

    I'm close to Nelson Mandella and the Dali Lama too.

    Kids today are greedy. After the third kid took more than his/her allotted two pieces, I began to select their two pieces for them. They have also become dumber. What trick-or-treater uses a plastic grocery bag or the dreaded orange plastic pumpkin? It is all about the pillowcase!! Dumbasses.

    The poll results don’t surprise me at the slightest.
