Anywa, am I the only one who thinks the government will just go back on their word and slash services, all the while promising ever new and thrilling programs?
Why, yes. I believe you are. It is my personal belief that there will be a Special Representative assigned to each of us old folks who will personally escort us through the Looking Glass. Once on the other side, after refreshments, of course, we will be shown where to find the large pot of money and other valuables that will have been set aside in our name.
Next question?

Anyone want to chip in and buy an island somewhere and start our own country? I’m not joking. We can call it Freeper Island. We’ll be self-reliant.
