With great power comes great responsibility

Remeber peter that with great power comes great responsibility.

fiscal responsibility 

Fiscal responsibility is a term republicans pull out for campaign ads every election cycle. The G.O.P. claims to be fiscally responsible while claiming their Democratic opponents are not.

Obviously, the Republican Party has no idea what being "fiscally responsible" actually means! A budget should include adequete revenue (i.e. taxes) to cover all the obligations. Republicans think the only way to balance a budget is to cut taxes. Democrats, like Bill Clinton, know that cutting expenses AND increasing revenue is the only way to balance a budget. Democrats' tax and spend idea is a lot more logical than the Republicans' borrow and spend policy!
Remember that about 75% of our national debt was caused by the last 3 Republican presidents! (Reagan, Bush41 and Bush43) The last two times the national budget was balanced a Democrat was president!! (Lyndon Johnson 1969 and Bill Clinton 2000)
The tea party claims to be concerned about fiscal responsibility, however they didn't seem concerned about it when George W Bush was cutting taxes and running up huge debts while trying to fight two insane and inappropriate wars!

Social Responsibility 

Social responsibility is voluntary; it is about going above and beyond what is called for by the law(legal responsibility). It involves an idea that it is better to be proactive toward a problem rather than reactive to a problem. Social responsibility means eliminating corrupt, irresponsible or unethical behavior that might bring harm to the community, its people, or the environment before the behavior happens.
Social responsibility is exercised when people connect ideals in person or over the internet and take action against the corrupt powers that control our social settings.

Cowboys For Social Responsibility

A professional victim’s organization based in Canada that promotes total civilian disarmament in Canada. The main inspiration for Cowboys for Social Responsibility, the Coalition for Gun Control (CGC) maintains that inanimate objects, mainly firearms, are responsible for homicide, femicide, infanticide, matricide, patricide, suicide, filicide, siblicide and every other known “cide” in the English language.
The Cowboys for Social Responsibility assume that if a person owns a firearm they are dangerous, particuarily men. If a man owns a firearm he will undoubably be more likely to beat his wife or kid.

The Cowboys for Social Responsibility recently defined the good folks at CanadianGunNutz as persons who buy firearms to be used AGAINST their wives, because knives kill more people than guns.

Cow boys for social responsibility 

Cow boys for social responsibility is a blog for antis. Drawing from the Coalition for Gun Control and other sources they claim that guns cause suicides, that guns cause homicides, and that guns cause domestic violence against women and children. Womens shelters claim that women are terrorized at the hands of men with firearms.

Socieconomic or cultural reasons for violence are ignored as causes, including alcholism and poverty. Somehow it is innaminate objects that by themselves promote people to lose their minds, to snap and start beating their wives or killing people.
The full-time victims at Cow Boys for Social Responsibility want to ban all firearms from all law-abiding hunters and sport shooters in Canada. They feel the human right to self defense is not a right. They feel generations of hunters and shooters of Canada are now suddenly dangerous.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
