Sunny Side Up!

This is going to be easier than I thought.

Sunny Lucas has already accepted my premise. All I need do now is demonstrate need, unfairness, good intentions, etc., and she will either move toward my goal, or spin endlessly chasing her own tail. To wit:

THE WAR ON DRUGS
...First, since it’s absurd to put marijuana in the same category as coke, crack, heroin, and whatnot, she would completely legalize marijuana, regulate it, and tax the shit out of it just like we do with cigarettes.

Wonderful news! Sunny thinks the legalization of pot is drrrrrastic! change. She has swallowed hook, line and sinker my premise that we can and should dictate what each of us puts into our bodies. If it's debatable whether meth consumption is permissible, then it's debatable whether drinking orange juice is permissible. The POWER is all that matters—at which end of the field it's exercised is insignificant.

And that line about taxing the shit out of it — Music, sweet music!

THE ECONOMY
...We understand that there will always be people born with disadvantages that aren’t their fault, like a disease or abusive parents. Those people should be helped because it is the right thing to do...and taking care of the elderly, to name a few.

Here again, Sunny has accepted my premise, though she is a long way from where I need her to be. She has all but said that those who can should be compelled to help those who can't, i.e., injustices must be rebalanced. And believe me, there is ALWAYS an injustice, imbalance, unfairness, or dire need, real or perceived — makes no difference (some people, out there in our nation, don't have maps).

The rest of Sunny's pile of poop, er, platform, I will reckon with tomorrow.

Now, I reckon I'll take a nap...
