and begin the questions.

Is this thepolitical process?

Silence!

Question one:will you pledge today

Look, let's be honest here.

No one likes taxes, but they payfor our basic needs:

If we hope to realize ouraspirations as a great planet,

we must each payour fair share

to achieve those noble goals.

Thank you, Senator.

A thoughtful and lucid answer.

You will be destroyed!
