Essentially true. It is to weep.

..........................................
So get a job as a teacher, make an agreement to split the 2.5 million with little Johnnys parents, then hug Johnny
Now you guys are thinking! Use the Alinsky methods to counter and disrupt the assiten [1/9 more asinine than asinine] attitudes and actions of the subversive, perversive, regressive Progressives.

Standing on the deck the other day I heard a crack down in our woods and saw a guy in camo walking slowly then, crack, crack, crack. I kept standing there and he disappeared into the foliage. Not a big concern, he wasn't shooting at me. And if he was there is a gun within 10 seconds of me in any direction. 8 years ago when I lived in *society* such an incident would have had choppers on site in minutes and the panic level all around would have been in the 9's. It's still mostly 1957 out here in the sticks and when I occasionally must go into society it is painful, alienating, and I can't wait to escape. My only regret about it is that I waited so long to escape.

Posted by: Fat Man at February 2, 2015 8:16 PMFortunately, there are still many many instances where the rational normal outcome occurs to no fanfare whatsoever.
The potential for idiocy was always there even in 1957, I remember that year.
But yeah...horrible comparisons to contemplate.
I laughed so hard the neighbors dog started barking.
(it's winter, the windows are closed and I'm on the south side of my house, he's on the north side of his.)
