Maybe that's why Congress doesn't take more interest in role-playing. Or maybe they just see the world as one big RPG.

I tried rolling a random name for my elf, and after a billion rolls I didn't even use any of them.  But then my dragon disciple, I used a random background thing for him and it seemed to work nice.  I think that the idea of rolling random seems like a good idea when you can't make up your mind, but if you are truly split on the choice then you are unlikely to accept the random roll.
