I sometimes say "this is what I would do if I were in charge" (such as not
terror-bombing Afghanistan) but I immediately qualify this by stating that
it's impossible that such policies would be implemented given the current
balance of political power. The implication is that we need to change the
balance of power (organize!). This is simplistic, but it's good enough for
bumper-stickers.

There's no place that he goes/ We don't bow down to him and pray.
Yeah we follow him to the slaughter / We go through the fire and ash.
Cause he's the doll inside our dollars / Our Lord and Savior Jesus Cash
(chorus): Ah we blow him up -- inflated / and we let him down -- depressed
We play with him forever -- he's our doll / and we love him best."
