Howso? Yes. Well, if that's right, the assertion (I'd think you've heard it as it was quite popular) was that Obama was a socialist or very much like a socialist all because he would "redistribute the wealth." His policies would not be a "total" redistribution of resources. But I'm not...

What is so "right" about a civil union? Civil unions started because people went, "Well, it makes sense that you'd want to take advantage of the same legal things associated with marriage. But we just can't let you have the NAME 'marriage' along with them." In my case, I don't want the name...

So we take the "wealth" from people and use it to pay other people to maintain roads. This "wealth" was "distributed" in one way, and then some of it was taken and "distributed" elsewhere. There's a word in the English language for when the "distribution" of something (wealth, in this case) is...

I was talking about the one mentioned in the article Mooseman linked to. It was an attempt to amend the Florida state constitution to remove some antiquated and embarrassing text that was targeted at Asian immigrants during the fear of a "Yellow Menace" roughly 100 years ago. The measure...

"Well, this was anticlimactic. Shall we depart?"

*Examines the pumice statue thing.*

By the way, that Florida initiative did indeed fail.

Actually all taxes are "redistributing the wealth." So are all marketplaces. But don't let reason interfere with scare tactics.

Well, my general understanding is that Obama is actually an alien from the planet Hixizathendoa. He has no interest in Turgy's house, but he may end up feeding Turgy to his larvae. :rolleyes:

*Examines that door in the east wall.*

Actually, it looks like you were holding them there for BB's health... :p

Soon "...we can settle down to the glorious task of nationalizing the means of production, collectivizing the farms, and redistributing the wealth."

I work at my library. That I haven't heard anything about this suggests to me that we're not among the libraries participating (odd, because if we're not, the rest of the system probably isn't either, and since we're supposedly the second largest library system in the nation, one would think...

Yes, it has nothing to do with race. But I don't see anything magical about race that means issues outside of it aren't cut and dried. Yeah, that seems about right. Maybe 30 years. Maybe a bit more. Probably not less.

Heh. I can definitely see a case for putting "worst" in quotation marks. Homelands gets a bad rap, but most of the cards in it are just mediocre, not ridiculously awful. I am curious as to what card will be selected as the worst of the bunch, though...

I recall reading a story about a website where a graphic of some sort was used without the owner's permission in one place and made it onto a MySpace deal where people were using it on their MySpace pages. When the guy running the original site realized what was sucking up his bandwidth, he...

Yeah, the movie adaptation was kind of lame. I only went to see it because Audrey Tautou was in it. She was good, of course, but the rest--not so much.

How long are you talking about? It's obviously going to be an issue in the near future. That's inevitable. Eventually it will go the way of anti-miscegenation laws and Jim Crow laws.

It was printed before Alliances. I thought we were doing these in chronological order... Well, Thought Lash is a crap rare. Moreso than any other card in this set. So I can see why there'd be disdain for it. Really, this is a testament to how good of a set Alliances was. Even Thought Lash is...

Did we just skip Homelands, infamous as the worst set in the history of the game?
