Adult Problems:
I researched and found a good stock to buy in my ROTH IRA. I bought it, and the thing went up a beautiful 38% in one year while I was working every day and not looking at my stocks. Then it started to go down. I had put a 10% trailing stop-loss order in place that would have gotten me out with a tidy 28% profit, but my online broker's rules automatically expired my “Good ‘til Cancelled” order without my actually cancelling it, so it didn't kick in when I needed it. When I finally lost my job and had time to take a look again, the stock had sunk below my original buying price and become stagnant. I waited a week for the next minor noise bump so I wouldn't lose quite as much when I unloaded it. As soon as I sold it, that very night, someone somewhere bought a whole bunch of shares during afterhours trading, which drove the price up in the morning. Other people noticed the sudden movement and piled on. It became super active again and gained 5% in one day, rising above my original price, and I wasn’t in it.

Political parties should be banned. Political parties have no part in a democracy. We don't elect parties. We elect people.
The ultimate outcome of the long influence of parties on our system has apparently amounted only to preventing work from being done.
Elected public servants are afraid to acknowledge any good idea proposed by a person in a different party, even if they agree with the idea, and even if the people that elected them agree with the idea!
Political parties are not like sports teams. We don't have to feel obligated to stick by them and root for them no matter how sucky they get.
Every candidate should be considered individually, untainted by the stain of party affiliation.
Every idea should be considered for its merit, unpolluted by the stink of party origination.
Political parties should be banned.
