Litmus Tests are good, actually, and "Do you support court reform" is an example of a particularly good one.

Hey, now, I'm still reading the paper. I occasionally have to put it down and look like I'm doing what I'm being paid to do, you know.

i wouldn't take lack of comments as lack of interest. I found it very interesting, but there wasn't a great deal left to say…
Matthew says:
QUIET ALL OF YOU!
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN (BY NOT SPEAKING).
MORE DICK JOKES!
