Misery

Misery doesn't love company, it loves equality. 'Cause if you're as miserable as I am, we're equal. Welcome to the fucking party.

Negotiation

So consider that you're an all powerful deity laying down the law for your subjects. Now then consider that one group, or 'tribe' of these subjects decides to try and negotiate with you. You're all fucking powerful, you don't need to negotiate, but still you're kind of amused, so you figure, whe the heck, and decide to sit down at the table with them.

Eventually what you get is a whole set of people with 8 nights of celebration instead of 1 Christmas day. And Yom Kippur. One freakin' day of fasting to atone all your sins for the year. Catholics get 40 days of Lent and only 1 day of Christmas celebration and Jews get eight nights of partying for only one day of atonement. We (and I mean this loosely as 'anyone who needs to bargain with the man' can learn a lot from the Jews. The next time I need to get my salary or contract negotiated I'm totally get a Jew to do it.

If my last name was White

I'd name my kid Ford. Specifically Ford Bonco White. Just so that in classes and on IRS forms they'd read it as White, Ford Bronco.

Foreign Dependency

Much has been said lately about the US and foreign oil dependency. While I think it's an issue related to our continued involvement in the Middle East, I have to argue that our greater foreign dependency is to Colombia. While we would have a difficult time running on limited foreign oil, it would be impossible for the US economy, indeed any US business outside of Salt Lake City, to function without the influx of foreign coffee. Typically I'm picky, and I have a good supply of pure 100% Kona coffee, but across the nation, businesses and individuals function on their daily intake of caffeine. Starbucks, with an annual gross higher than most third world nations, is built entirely upon dependence on foreign coffee. Until we can remedy this risk to our national and economic security, we have to consider leaving on the table the invasion of South America. If only for our national security, Colombia may indeed be, the fifty-first state.
