NO NO NO ! ! !
do NOT hyphenate names, you will be causing the accelerated heat-death of the universe ! ! !
seriously, have hyphen-people got goldfish-brain ? ? ? have you lost all ability to see beyond the next 5 seconds ? ? ?
to wit :
johnny appleseed marries joan braithwaite and begat joey appleseed-braithwaite (braithwaite-appleseed ? ? ? see, already the problems start!)
joey appleseed-braithwaite marries shareena washington-james and begat muhammed appleseed-braithwaite-washington-james ! ! !
etc, etc, etc, are you catching on YET, selfish hyphen-people ? ? ?
do you understand how as egocentric hyphen-people go around doubling names will-I nill-I, the next generation will suffer the heavy load of a quadrupled name ? ? ?
within 3-4 generations of hyphen-people on the loose, ALL of the planet's resources will be going SOLELY for the increased paper necessary for filling out forms, nametags, and applications ! ! !
we will have to go off-planet to get the paper, and there are very few trees in outer space ! ! !
are you hyphen-people crazy ! ! !
come the revolution, we will all have the same name...

wake the fuck up: the system has been set up, evolved, and eventually totally corrupted for the benefit of the power elites and their korporate interests; it has NOTHING to do with providing for the benefit of 90%+ of us...
getting mad at foxes for eating your chickens after you PAID the foxes to guard your henhouse, is the apogee of idiocy...

*AND* doesn't have to be a fire-breathing, reichwing, violent piece of bidness to voluntarily offer up such unconstitutional, anti-pwogwessive, nasty pieces of legislation...
ha ha ha
nopey, dopey, all courtesy your local liberal (*cough*cough*) californicated kongresskritter, jane har(d)mon, fighting them (we have met the them, and it is us'ns) here so we don't have to listen to their all-too-twue rantings there...

of course, as most nervous sheeple do, 'civilized' saloonists take umbrage at sheeple who wake up and bear fangs at their oppressors...
ho ho ho
no, many saloonists are really not quite so different from their reichwing brethren; but they think that THEIR orthodoxy, THEIR catechism, THEIR faux pwogwessive bullshit don't stink...
ha ha ha
bitch and moan over the sideshow, that's acceptable; but don't dare threaten to overturn the tables of the moneychangers...

go quietly sheeple, keep it moving, don't question the shepherds leading you to slaughter, that would be unseemly...

the judiciary has abandoned the constitution (nevermind 'justice'), the kongresskritters are corrupted, coopted, or coerced, the media are infotainment whores, and the sheeple are too busy chewing their cuds and suckling from the glass teat...
