Maybe if you had a Babel fish, like in HHGttG? Talking to a liberal is like going on a trip with Ford Prefect. Don't forget your towel, and Beware of the Leopard. Oh, and if Kerry gets elected, we're all going to near bumper stickers that read 'Don't Panic' in reassuringly large letters.
As I recall, the Babel fish was responsible for more wars because it prevented lack of communication. Evidently, if we really understood each other, we'd be more p***ed off.
Much <3 for mentioning Douglas Adams (R.I.P) masterpiece.
Good analogy of Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy. :)
