When I was a senior in high school, we had the option to choose AP Economics or AP Government as a class, 2 semesters(nerdy kid, I know, whatever). At the time I chose Econ because I already thought at 16 yrs old that the government was one big lie and since I had to choose one, at least I could sweat thru NASDAQ and all that happy horse shit. All these years later, 31 yrs, I realize, yeah, government was one big lie, and econ was horseshit. Go f'n figure.
