			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, after a long hiatus I return to post this: I have created a totally unscientific survey for you to play with.  </p>
<p>/cue applause</p>
<p>You may participate in this totally unscientific survey here: <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=ptqNZDLRoP3y0c7bMLDshMQ">Human Nature &#038; Political Leanings</a>.  And lest you be concerned as to how much time you might actually waste/lose by participating, the survey consists of a whopping two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Do you think humans are basically good, with a few bad tendencies?  Or basically bad, with a few good tendencies?</li>
<li>How would you classify your political philosophy: liberal, conservative, or libertarian?</li>
</ol>
<p>The near-realtime results are after the jump.  Enjoy ;)</p>

<p>I test drove it with <a href="http://argus.emthree.org/gallery/TheFam-NicholesBirthdayFiesta-03092007">pictures from Nichole&#8217;s recent birthday party</a> &#8212; the results were interesting.  As icing, once you&#8217;ve gone through the process and gotten your &#8220;celebrity&#8221; lookalikes, the site will build you a slick-daddy way to embed the results in your blog/myspace/friendster page.  I give it a 7/10 for coolness, with -1 for the required signup.  Our results are below the fold :)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you live in Kennesaw, you are required to own a gun.  Makes sense to <em>me</em> &#8212; in fact, I love it.  In the immediate future you&#8217;ll be introduced to our two new pieces of hardware that are helping us comply with this ordinance :)</p>
<p>Other cities&#8217; less-useful (but real) laws:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you live in Acworth, you are required to own a rake.</li>
<li>In Marietta, it is illegal to spit out of a car or bus &#8212; but it&#8217;s OK to spit out of a truck.</li>
<li>In Atlanta, it&#8217;s against the law to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole or street lamp.</li>
<li>In Jonesboro, it&#8217;s illegal to say &#8220;Oh boy&#8221;.</li>
</ul>
