→The Drowning Man
(unindent) I really liked this one; it made a lot of sense! The only problem is that the liberal lets go of the 200-foot rope at both ends, so the rope extends only 100 feet into the water. This seems like a reasonable amount after the conservative says "I provide 50, you provide 50" (paraphrase). My point is--well...maybe I'm not sure what my point is...maybe the liberal should only be holding onto one of the ends when he lets go?--[[User:JParker|JParker]] 18:02, 14 February 2009 (EST)

When I was a young man,I was walking along a beach in the far south of New South Wales (That's Australia) when we saw a man in trouble just beyond the line of the breakers. I swam out and brought him in. I'm a liberal, It didn't need a rope of any particular length; just a person of sufficient will and capacity to do the deed.
