Heard a joke that said if a man was drowning 20 feet off shore, a
liberal would throw him 30 feet of rope and walk away....a
conservative would throw him 10 feet of rope, hold onto the rope and
tell him to swim for it.

Always thought I was a conservative, but as my "senior moments" become
more frequent, I'd probably forget I had the rope, that I had flunked
the test for my Life Saving Badge, jump in, try to save him and drown
both of us. Guess that makes me an independent with CRS.
