this problem.>>

part flip, part social commentary, expression of cynicism for that
situation, among others. in a country where police and firemen are paid
crap while lousy actors and baseball players make millions, i really do think
do think that is the most likely solution. i may be wrong but, that's what
i think.

so far, i haven't seen an appropiate emoticon for the above. i never
use them anyway. saying something is supposed to be funny doesn't make it
so. and besides, smiley faces make me puke (so does 'tee-hee'). so, it
would be very inappropriate and disingenuous for me to use them.

at any rate, my comment does not preclude anyone else from responding in
a very different manner. that was certainly not my intention. i just
wanted to share my cynical viewpoint.
