Hullo, error... thanks for looking.

I do wonder sometimes who sees this stuff, and what, if any, effect it has.

I don't have a link, but I remember saving a WSJ print article about how "Canadians were outraged that they had been targeted by North Korea for missile attack..." It seems that NK decided hitting Chicago would enrage America too much, so they picked a Canadian city ( can't recall which one it was... ) to "show us they were serious..."

This was, of course, during The Golden Age of Clinton, so the Jackal Pack Press was obediently silent about it. But I remember it well- it was right after NK nearly hit Alaska with one of their shoots.

You know, I went through a period of time that I sincerely felt the republic was already lost and that I would just withdraw from the debate about it. I guess 8 years of Clinton did not help my view of the future. I studied and analyzed "why" and "what happened" hoping in vain that somehow if we could figure out when or where things went wrong, we could somehow then manage to fix the problem.

What I figured out as the root-cause is that the world is just eat-up with dum-asses.

"Why" things went wrong and "When" things went wrong and "Who" caused things to go wrong became irrelevant.
The "people" - us - we - are responsible for the state of affairs. The founding Fathers left it to us and we blew it.

I still have a dark view of the future, I still think the republic is already lost, but somehow lately I have decided there is no reason that we should just pass quietly into the night.

Even if we know rape is enevitable, should we just lay down and spread our legs?

I guess what I'm saying is-
If we are going down, anyway, then let's go down swinging.

Our only hope seems to be to re-educate the people. Unfortunately, all of the efforts here on FR amount to little more than just preaching to the choir. The people who need to know this stuff are not in this classroom.

Keep-On-Freepin-On
