    Good to see the SHUT DOWN hasn't stop this site!

    How can we elect people to offices who have no idea what it means to be a politician or how to compromise? And why do they only hurt the people who are just trying make a living (the majority of the people who are not getting paid due to this shut down) and not themselves? One day the...

    Great movies of all time
