Levitt & Dubner make such colorful descriptions that you sometimes think they go too far. They do make a number of fascinating observations, though. I don't think I would base a Ph.D dissertation on the information they present (unless confirmed by other reliable sources). Nevertheless I believe that most of their facts are reasonably correct; only the presentation is made with a funny twist.

Nope.
And most of its opposition think democracy is fine provided it always votes their way ... but this is verging on Soapbox territory.

What is the intended (fiance?) theme?

You are up tomorrow!
Theme? Whatever you want - it's broad enough to go several ways - or no theme at all, it's your decision.

No theme!?!?! What a load of rubbish! If you can’t come up with a theme we will have to trash your reputation and toss you in the bin!

As a friend of mine always says "I like to count my blessings. Every morning I wake up and spend a few minutes locating the part of me that doesn't hurt."

Our family doctor used to say that "after 40, if you wake up in the morning and nothing hurts, you must have died during the night."
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Doctor1: Doesn't matter, he's got the latest Stent 3.884 feature enabled: ship him back to work.
Nurse: But, Doctor, he can't walk right !
Doctor2: What do you expect ? He's using an older version of DogLegs: that's open-source; the RC deadline requires we punt on upgrading that ... ship him back to work.
