It also has a lot to do with this weird, renewed sense that we have to fix up the world, which is, of course, a huge load of crap.

Level up: 10%, 8 Points needed | | I'll tell you one thing... I was so surprised to see a prospective Republican National Candidate that was actually intelligent, told the truth, and didn't beat around issues like the Three Stooges at a golf tournament! Jeez, it almost gave me a hard-on.
Obviously, my vote is for Ron Paul.
