Oh, the typical Representative (= MP) in the States has a two-year term.

In theory, great, they have to keep on their toes!

In practice, it means as soon as they're elected, they have to start work on getting re-elected, instead of doing what we elected them to do, and pay them for (via our taxes).

Of course, it helps if they have a friendly State legislature to draw the election boundaries for them, so they can safely assume they'll always win re-election without having to try hard or spend much cash because anyone who wouldn't vote for them is in another district. (Welcome to Pennsylvania. Google "Pennsylvania 7th district" for sh1ts and giggles.)

Burnout is about the only racing game I would consider buying. So much fun smashing up cars and watching the $$$ ring up!

I also support vehicular mayhem.

Though moreso of the Twisted Metal variety.

Burnout Paradise was really fun. I only got a chance to play it a couple times, so maybe i should revisit it.

Naildriver , we have heaps of regulations . today the Royal Commission started on those dipstick Banks . we just finished the Royal Commission on institution molesting children . the Govt. and those religious pricks have to pay $150,000 to each person that was molested . as per usual you have to drag the Catholic Church by the ear . one Jewish headmistress hightailed it to Israel . the bastards won`t send her back .

I'm more of a Smokey and The Bandit kind of guy. I can also be The Stig from Top Gear if needed.
