But what about the poor lentils?

This is EXACTLY what I was picturing when Lentils were mentioned - love the Young Ones!
I just don't understand any kind of absolute egalitarianism philosophy. Whether it's branded as anarcho-capitalism or straight anarchism or sockfucking libertarianism, it always misses the same point.

Quote"When you ask me that question, I'm going to revert to my ethnic heritage and ask you a question: On what planet do you spend most of your time?" Frank asked.
"You stand there with a picture of the president defaced to look like Hitler and compare the effort to increase health care to the Nazis," he said, adding such behavior demonstrated the strength of First Amendment guarantees of what he called "contemptible" free speech.
"Trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table," Frank said to the woman. "I have no interest in doing it."

This was fun: I just heard a Republican pundit say that we don't need a Public Option... all we need is "more regulation of the health care industry."

Perhaps. But still, in some small way, this feels like I'm saying "I validate the shitty stuff this country believes in, because I want to be part of it."
I don't, of course, but I can see that line of logic being pursued. At least with being Australian, I can always just say I never asked to be born there. Actively pursuing citizenship is something else.
You owe the humans nothing. Use their system for what it's worth, and don't worry about "validating" them. They do that for themselves, anyway, and they'd kill you on the spot if they ever figured out what you stand for. Be the remora.

Black helicopters.
Mena.
New World Order.
Hillary Clinton is a lesbian Satanist.
UN troops secretly preparing to take over the USA.
The Patriot Movement.
If TOTSE was still up, I'd link you to the batshit insanity that was the early 90s...every bit as good as this, for sure. The only difference is now the Movement has slipped the leash, and the crazy has now moved up into the main ranks of the GOP. Before, there were enough old skool republicans to (barely) keep the movement under control - though Newt and his merry gang didn't help matters.
i never understood the crazy aspect of black helicopters. Isn't that just about helicopters that have noise reduction tech?

Shall we start a new thread for the book, once we want to discuss it? Because I think that is a good plan.

How do people live in such abject fear of imaginary enemies?
QuoteBritain is a two-party system though, and its not this bad here. Nowhere near.
