8. Apparently ORDagnabbit will laugh at the less fortunate
Not a problem with me, of course. The less fortunate are downright amusing sometimes.

He must be laughing at himself.

Didn't know real democrats of the title bashed their own, but I knew that long ago and even since summer of 2005...
(Which makes me as much one as it makes everyone else...)

18. Sorry we over ran your Native American culture.
There is so much to learn from you as we struggle to survive another century. Respecting the Earth is the place to start.

Necessity is the driving force, our survival depends on changing the economic systems to something sustainable. But we will hopefully learn in the process to value nature for what it is, and not how to profit from it.

20. I think I'm actually in good shape. Very good-paying job for a company (elect. component mfr)
And I've cut my expenses quite a bit. Only debt is a car paid off in 2 years.
