Good luck with that...and I seriously mean that. You are going to be very unhappy for the rest of your life, though.

Ever hear of the book Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman? You're exactly the type he had in mind. The type would would cheer on the end of the Republic as long as it was sold to us as entertainment.

Rather than being unhappy, I am trying to prevent the gross misery that a complete societal collapse or loss of liberty would entail. You truly are a fool with your vapid and chippy commments regarding this subject. I guess I should just be like you - Don't Worry, Be Happy, Let Someone Else Clean Up My Messes.

Take out out on me ... fine. Do you believe in God? I believe the only thing we I have control over is my own side of the street. Ultimately, I am the one who has to face God. The rest? The end is already written.

For you to think you could really effect history is like saying man has the power to effect the weather. It’s the same thing to me. I believe we can only slow things down..but time will roll along with or without us.

So, I look at the way things are and I make my decisions based on that. You don’t. I’m not your problem.
