Dear Scott Adams: This is a “howler”. You can’t be serious. What you describe is mob rule that is as short-fused as a polsters dream. The constitution, if it was followed, enshrines the minorities’ rights. It used to before the popular election of senators slowed things down to a reflective pace. Before that change, there was no such thing as an “unfunded mandate” (unless the Senators wanted to be lynched by their respective state legislatures). But, then we used to have “honest money” at one time too. The dead old white guys who wrote that Constitution were pretty smart about how to try to limit government power. Unfortunately, we became as “dumb” as the pointy head mamager in your strip. Government is into everything and we are being slowly enslaved by the majority.


Go Jaspers

Interestingly, Manhattan’s win against FDU (I was a guarnteed winner since I am an alum of both schools.) now pits them against Maryland. One of my best friends is a Terp. So, we’ve been exchanging barbs. About state skools. And turtle soup. It would really be HUGE if the Jaspers can pull of an upset!
