As I was driving home from the airport today, the ever-so-memorable clip from the Electric Company came to mind:

CAPTAIN: A cup of coffee and a sweet roll.

WAITRESS: We're out of sweet rolls.

CAPTAIN: A glass of milk and a sweet roll.

WAITRESS: We are out of sweet rolls.

CAPTAIN: Iced tea and a sweet roll.

WAITRESS: We are out of sweet rolls.

CAPTAIN: Orange juice and a sweet roll?

WAITRESS (Frustrated and angry): WE ARE OUT OF SWEET ROLLS!!!

CAPTAIN: Okay, then I'll just have a sweet roll.

Kind of made me think about what the US government offers us today. The conversation would probably go something like this:

GOVERNMENT: We'll give you socialist progressivism.

PEOPLE: We don't want progressivism.

GOVERNMENT: Fascist progressivism.

PEOPLE: We do not want progressivism.

GOVERNMENT: Capitalist progressivism.

PEOPLE: We do not want progressivism.

GOVERNMENT: Communist progressivism?

PEOPLE (Frustrated and angry): WE DO NOT WANT PROGRESSIVISM!!!

GOVERNMENT: Okay, then we'll just give you progressivism.

Wake up Washington, DC. We're coming for you.
