    To me, though, that is very different from standing on the edge of a 200 m, sheer cliff, with nothing between you and a lethal drop. I am completely at ease in every aircraft I have ever flown in, but froze up completely on a scaffold three floors up while on a painting crew.

    The only time I believe that I don't like heights is when I'm capable of dying and there's little support (maybe a poor structure). Though I try to stay clam in most situations as I believe panicking is practically useless.

    haha, very funny. No, I meant thirty odd, as in thirty people, give or take. The bastard just went around this history place with a gun and started shooting. He hanged himself a couple of years ago... I htink I might have to go google it so I can get correct info.

    Yes! Forget Obama, Adamant for first black president! Just make sure to have the forum as your running cabinet.

    Well, that interjection was quite odd.

    Does anyone else wish that the president wasn't Commander-in-Chief? I mean, he didn't serve in the armed forces to begin with. How does he know what should happen? I think it should be a little more dispersed amongst a group. We can't expect a George Washington every time we throw out a ballot.

    Hey, but the thing is. I wouldn't want the job of leader of a country, really when I think about it because they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

    That's why I'm making you an ambassador and secretary, silly.

    In a note that ties the topic to the thread, I'm going to be honest and say that, although my grasp on politics is probably not as high as that of a Washington DC employee, I don't think it's too stupid for me to be scared of the incumbent government and administration. Really, the thought of them running everything just puts me on edge.

    In the words of a great woman:

    Love me or hate me, it's still an obsession.
    Love me or hate me, that is the question.
    If you love me then thank you!
    If you hate me then **** you!

    Lady Sovereign, i salute thee.
