It's called 'Arrow's Theorem" and I don't feel like explaining it beyond the point that I think its time we have a dictatorship or administer intelligence tests at the voting booths.

ETA: That's kinda harsh... maybe we should just do a flat tax. I can't find all those statements and shit and now my wife's mad about me not organizing my life. Somebody I don't know 1099'd me last week. I just want to fuck, get drunk and hide in my house. Is it too much to ask?

Maybe some coke and mushrooms. And movies. And I need a gym in the basement. And nicer pets.
