MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

I WANT the government to shut-down. I WANT us all to get fed up and DO something about it. If they can't do the job, WE need to remove them, and replace them with better people.

Won't work I'm afraid. Human beings are incapable of running countries any way other than the way they currently do. That's the reason revolutions just go round in fucking circles - idealism is dissolved by the trappings of power. Every. Fucking. Time.

I know, just thinking that it might be time for a new revolution, but I fear things will have to get  much worse before that happens here.

Oh yes. Infinitely worse.
