Still political, but a different topic.....

The soap opera that is 21st century politics seems to know no boundaries. With no knowledge beyond what is in this article, I give you some diversionary reading:

It's not that our situation is unique, it's that we've lowered ourselves politically and morally. I didn't read the link, so I don't know what nations were mentioned, but if "the greatest country ever" wants to be "great again", we need to become serious about issues, campaigning, and candidates. Absurdity leads to Idiocracy.

WTF?

No, not All of you by any means. But there is a greater propensity for Wackoness the farther one moves to the fringes.

For example, I have never thought you to be crazy--I just disagree with you on some points. King Tongue--I suspect he really IS a bit off the level.

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.
