It's offensive to hear continually about how it's your living room and your rules, and then to be hit up for money. How many living rooms have you been in where the host passes the hat for the light bill?

Good point. The "living room" analogy was ALWAYS inane, and always will be, and becomes ironic within the funding context.

But then, I'm not here for mere common sense.

I'M HERE FOR UNCOMMON SENSE!

Irrelevant. Create your own "Freer Republic".
