  • Would rather not say. If politics come to a head in the US, I want a basic level of anonymity. Depending how things go, we might see ICE doing a Pretti Good to many voting Democrats.


    Anyhow, I don’t have to pay for utilities and housing, just my food, fuel, phone, internet, and the things that make life decent. I am VERY lucky for what I have. Kids are definitely not something that I would ever consider having.

    I can cut down on the food budget and go full ramen if I wanted to improve my savings, but I do like my vices of meat and such. About $500 for this month’s Costco* shopping bill…but half of the meat is bought by other household members. I cook the food, and split the cost of supplies between us.

    *$5 off per package for this stuff is a recurring deal. It is quite good, it comes pre-sliced and in two sealed packets.






  • If there are reforms, I think that one of them is access to lawyers. Rich or poor, you shouldn’t pay for lawyers. Instead, they are all placed into a common pool, where each side picks their representatives. If both sides happen to pick the same lawyers, they roll a dice in front of the court until someone has the higher number. That person gets the lawyer, and the other side draws someone else of choice from the pool.

    I also think that lawyers should rotate in the role they may serve after every case. Prosecution -> Defense -> Prosecution -> Defense, for their entire career as courtroom representatives. If a lawyer refuses to represent, they are barred from serving as a lawyer for four months, and their refusal goes onto a common dossier that anyone can see.

    This encourages the whole profession of lawyers to ensure that the courtroom is fair to both defense and prosecution, and that both roles are equally valid when it comes to reputation.




  • [Verse 1]
    Hey everybody, did the news get around
    About a guy named Butcher Pete
    Oh, Pete just flew into this town
    And he's choppin' up all the women's meat
    
    [Chorus]
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat
    
    [Verse 2]
    Butcher Pete's got a long sharp knife
    He starts choppin' and don't know when to stop
    All you fellas gotta watch your wives
    ‘Cause Pete don't care whose meat he chops
    
    [Chorus]
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat
    
    [Verse 3]
    Ever since Pete flew into town
    He's been havin' a ball
    Just cuttin' and choppin' for miles around
    Single women, married women, old maids and all
    
    [Chorus]
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat
    
    [Verse 4]
    Wakes up in the morning, half past five
    Chops from sunrise to sunset
    I don't see how he stays alive
    Meat's gonna be the death of ole Pete yet
    
    [Chorus]
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat
    
    [Verse 5]
    The police put Pete in jail
    Yes, he finally met his fate
    But when they came to pay his bail
    They found him choppin' on his cell mate
    
    [Chorus]
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He keeps hackin' and whackin' and smackin'
    He just hacks, whacks, choppin' that meat
    
    [Outro]
    That Butcher Pete is a crazy man
    Tries to chop down the wind and the rain
    Just hacks on anything he can get
    Say, turn this record over, you ain't heard nothing yet
