Actually, why not use the politicians/beaurecrats as lovely cement-weighted
pond ornaments?

There's just one thing wrong with that idea: it would be extremely
cruel to the plants and creatures living in the pond. Would you want
to be a plant, fish or frog and have a politician plopped into your
pond?

The only time I think this would be a truly good idea is when the
pond happened to be stocked with Pirahna.

Hmmm... good point. :-) Alas, that would still pollute the pond; you
know, that gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "pond scum."
Ok, so, now we have another idea for a good use for our vintage
computers: simulating the amount of damage to a pond based upon it's
capacity and the number of money stealing control-freaks polluting it.
Another idea: calculating the number of feathers and gallons of tar it
would take to properly clothe all of the politicians in the world. We
could then use that calculation, run on a PDP-11/70 in FORTRAN. as a
benchmark to rate our systems by, the CTFP benchmark.
