    Congrats! A lot of people never pick up on that “.” instead of a “?”.

    Well, a whole lot of people who aren’t wage earners are in that group because they’re retired, and you can probably imagine what would be the fate of any politician who said “Hey, let’s do away with Social Security!”. I suspect that, as long as we still have a semblance of democracy in this country, we aren’t going to have 90% of the population starving to death.

    Well, I don’t think that American history should be condensed down into just a single subject in a single year in school. But according to child psychologists, abstract thinking and ability to generalize are usually skills that take some years to develop. In the meantime, they can be appreciating interesting stories about real people, places, and events.

    Piper, you’re just wasting your time on Mr. I Hate Everything. Just let him rant by himself. I’m sure he’s used to it. He probably spends all day long just talking to himself even when he’s not here on GoComics sharing his general bitter, spiteful misanthropy.

    Jews think of themselves as God’s “chosen people”. But look at the historical record. They’ve spent almost their entire existence in either captivity, exile, slavery, persecution, ghettoes, or death camps. I wonder how many of them ever wish that God had chosen some OTHER people instead.
