amgreene (Andrew Marc Greene):
Two things in George Bush's (first ?) inaugural address struck me today:
1. ``It is society's responsibility to cure people of their dependencies on
drugs and welfare....''
Idea: Appoint a ``Welfare Czar'' to stop all the welfare at the
Mexican border. Make posession of more than 2g of food stamps a
felony.
2. ``[The divisiveness between the parties] started 25 years ago with
the onset of the Vietnam War. By now the Statute of Limitations
has surely run out.''
Why does the idea of a Statute of Limitations on the Vietnam War
strike me as a poor choice of words at best and a rather poor-taste
joke at worst?
Well, folks, here we go! The fun is JUST beginning!
(How many more days, John(s)?)

tytso (Theodore Y. Ts'o):
Everybody's got a million questions;
Everybody wants to know the score.
What you went through
It's something you
Should be over now.
Everybody wants to hear the secrets
That you never told a soul before.
And it's not that strange
Because it wouldn't change
What happened anyhow.
But you swore to yourself a long time ago
There were some things that people never needed to know
This is one that you keep
That you bury so deep
No one can tear it out;
And you can't talk about it,
Because you're following a code of silence.
You're never gonna lose the anger;
You just deal with it a different way.
You don't want to lose a friendship
There's nothing that you have to hide
In the only part of a broken heart
That you could ever save.
And you can't talk about it,
And isn't that a kind of madness?
To be living by a code of silence
When you've really got a lot to say.
