The pennies thing was a real eye opener that most anyone could understand.

I believe the most ironic thing is the 1/4 cent and how all Dems and even some Repubs fight like caged animals to prevent those measly cuts.

Think vector, momentum and feedback. It's not the 1/4 cent - it's the direction and mass of the politics behind it. Once things start to turn, people will associate the turning with relief from suffering, and want more of it, etc.

That's why tyrants are so petty and vicious - they have to keep everyone in survival mode, or people will see how close to freedom they really are, and overthrow the tyrants.

It usually only finnaly fails when they make people feel so bad, fighting is better than living. But in the US, the Rats are trying to use this to trigger martial law to stop elections altogether.

That's why, if you want to see God's grace, it's in the patience conservatives are showing in waiting for the elections to come again.
