That guy is totally bonkers. I do find it ironic that he is anti-abortion, yet is for basic human rights for all people. I can't imagine anyone voting for such a nutcase. The whole Mars thing sounds incredibly weird.

**A Hampton Cove resident, Williams, 28, holds a master's degree in political science from the University of Alabama in Huntsville and a bachelor's degree in business management from Athens State University. He works at Publix Super Market at Hampton Cove.**

I love it, two degrees totaling what, 10 years worth of school and he works in a supermarket. Makes 'ya think, does it not?

What a freaking loon.

Sometimes it feels like there is only one bastion of sanity in Texas.

Me.

Yes. Obvsiously we sci-fi readers are the ones that benefit from NASA, thus should support the tax. You know the little kids that but the Star Wars action figures have a vested interest in NASA too. Lets tax them as well.

</sarcasm>

What a joke. I certainly hope this doesn't go anywhere.

I'm doing a degree in Political Science, is this what I am destined to become?

I am too, so I seriously hope not. Of course my current career is in a different field all together, so perhaps the balance will help me to rise above the position of a stocker to that of something higher up, like a checker! http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif JK.
