Trolls and Venting

I hate trolls. Dammit.

I realized that it's impossible to e-mail most politicians "really" because of trolls. In an ideal world, we would be able to get in touch with the people who represent us; directly in touch, as in, actual conversation. But then there would be trolls, and of course that's why we can't have nice things.

A note on my parlance: Trolls in this particular entry refers to those who intentionally try to compromise others (for the lulz, right?). They seriously get off on schadenfreude and attempt to cause suffering in order to laugh at their victims. *insert Ebaums/4Chan reference here*

So I understand the need for these people to keep separate personal and "work" e-mail addresses, but I don't like it. Ultimately, there's nothing to be done about it, though. So until I become a famous political columnist (or equivalent), I'll just have to send the questions out through the normal forums. I'd prefer off-the-record, "real" answers, but anything will work, I guess.

Work sucks; so does being sick. China's dumping US Securities, and my homework for tomorrow is to crosscheck the GDP gap against the US Debt Ceiling for the last 30 years or so, and see how it correlates to the Dollar Inflation vs. CPI graphs. Lots of data, and lots of potential bullshit (I've noticed that certain areas in the data don't match right, but it could be my errors; we'll see).

For now, get some sleep kids. Tomorrow we crunch numbers!!
