Money is like manure, it stinks when it is in a pile and it does some good if it is spread around.

To continue the election theme:

Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other. - Ronald Reagan

The biggest argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter - Winston Churchill

Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities - Mark Twain

I apologize, I was a bit grumpy and out of sorts when I read your post and felt unjustly patronized; I realize you were just being helpful and providing your own insight, and I agree with your post quoted above: while we as a people may or may not be heading toward a decline in intelligence, we surely are continuously reaching new lows in common courtesy. Sorry, again.
