I was the tenth.

Anger can be a powerful motivation, and the reverse psychology post seems to work on the recruits at boot camp.

Whoever says "perception is reality" is daft. It's merely an abstraction, and often not a very good one.

I've got the song "White Lines" stuck in my head now.

One of my philosophies is "If you don't like the rules, change 'em or refuse to play."

As such, I am summarily changing the rules of this game: vote if you're with me. Just Don't vote cheese whatever you do.

Default Very Proper

This poll reminds of a anecdote I once read from an American diplomat in Britain who had occasion to read a highly classified British document. When it was handed to him by the gentleman responsible for safeguarding it, he realized that the handler was not cleared for the information in the document. He then asked him, "What do you when you have to retrieve this? You are not cleared for this document." The very stiff-necked reply was "I avert my eyes."
