Let's abolish or drastically reform the senate so that states with half a million people don't have the same representation as states with 40 million people. Also, fucking FIX gerrymandering. Voters should pick their reps; reps shouldn't pick their voters.

Oh WAIT, that sounds too 'religious' and I don't want to seem like I'm encouraging THAT!

How about 'Frickin - A!'

I'll admit I'm an 'old-fart' - I still have a 'problem' with using some language in different settings. I was in 'education' for 40 years and you have to 'watch your language' when meeting with school boards, staff members, parents, and, of course, students.
I also spent 45 years as a church musician - well, I don't have to tell you about THAT, do I?

BUT, I also worked (through public school age and college) at a bakery. There's NO loading dock in America that could beat a baker's &*%^*&*!^@ language!

I also tended bar for a few years after I retired. Just like newspapers and magazines, and even TV shows, the 'allowance' of 'true expression' has changed over the years. I was always amazed at how freely the "F-bomb" was dropped in simple, casual conversation, especially in mixed company.

Yes, times have changed, but, depending on my level of anger regarding any post that I make - I DO tend to 'tone it down' - but trust me, I am probably STILL THINKING IT!!!!
