These idiotic trickle-down policies are destroying my customer base. And yours too." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/03/we-need-smith_n_5554830.html http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/07/03/meet-the-governor-turned-ganjapreneur.html Johnson was the Libertarian nominee for president in 2012. And people actually voted for Romney and Obama anyway. http://www.simonsfoundation.org/quanta/20140122-a-new-physics-theory-of-life/ “People often get stuck in thinking about individual problems,” Prentiss said. Whether or not England’s ideas turn out to be exactly right, she said, “thinking more broadly is where many scientific breakthroughs are made.” Political science is a social science . . . . http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/25/world/europe/eu-elections/index.html?hpt=hp_bn2 "The sovereign people have proclaimed that they want to take back the reigns of their destiny into their hands.

"They can agree they don't like the EU," Usherwood said, "but they can't agree what they like and what the answer is." "Eventually soldiers on all sides could not endure this hell. Part of survival ultimately depended on refusing to obey orders, even as their officers promised to shoot them on the spot should they not advance.

This year, that number was 20,601 signatures, compared with a 2,000 benchmark for Republican and Democratic candidates." Outrageous!
