The thought process

Do you think Gov. Ed Rendell and those tax-minded like him would agree to a battery of neurological tests and scans? I mean, I believe that both Pennsylvanians and the world deserve to know exactly how such minds function -- exactly where the green areas that should be red flash, where the 1's crash into the 0's, creating the decision to increase taxes during an economic cataclysm.

Really, I believe that we, those who understand the folly, the smoke and mirrors, the titanic error of this philosophy, should gather closely together as we watch these scans, this neuro-horror unfold, so that we can hold hands and support one another.
