That's what I call a knee/jerk reaction.

The amount of "evil," whatever that is, is a product of harm and risk at the time of action. The Iraq War was obviously risky, and many would say the execution (heh) was criminally negligent.

At some point dead's dead's dead, whether by malice or negligence. This mens rea bullshit means little to some kid crushed under a roof.

Yeah, but I like to cobble my own together so when I enter in the last number I can stand up and scream "IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!" [thunderclap]

If you can rock some Excel, make a dynamic budget to compare prices, change assumptions, manage your guest list and calculate totals. It takes a couple hours to make but will save you oodles of fret time in the long run. And do it early: at the very least you'll know how much money you'll need.

Which raises the question...

I thought Mark Sanchez brought it back.

A town? They're thinking small. If they were able to carve out a STATE they could get two whole senators and a representative, which is important because herp derp federalism.

These are fantasy nerds, right? Just say you live with your Precious and your four dire wolves.

Eight, actually.

Googley Googley.

Maybe because this?

"Later, when I'm avoiding the gym, I think about the stuff..."

Yeah, sorry, that was kinda mean. I thought you were trying to do a QED thing by citing the Federalist Papers like that and were saying "maybe they were wrong" facetiously, so I got steamed. Chalk if up to textual misinterpretation and accept this hot dish of delicious lasagna as a peace offering?

You don't just get to bleat "FEDERALIST PAPERS" whenever somebody suggests that the system is flawed. It's nice that Madison and Hamilton waxed poetic about factions and tyrannies of the majority, but they were scared shitless that the plebes embodied by the legislature would spend all of their hard-earned money.
