What if we simply didn't require people to unnecessarily show up to an office building to prop up the value of commercial real estate? There'd probably be a job then.

Howard Dean came in in 04 with a 50 state strategy, he won historic gains in 06, and then in 08 Obama took office, it was with both the house and a supermajority in the senate. It's actually really good in the short term.

I think there's too much focus in The Big RPG on balance as "equally good in combat." A bard who can't fight but can talk his way out of one *is* balanced against a fighter. They just do different things. That's good!
