"finally come to accept that", you've been blathering about America's doomsday as far back as I can remember in the Image forums. You've been preaching that same message on and on, so unless the "finally" moment happened years ago, that's a lot of hidden denial you've been going through. You've been all but cheering for that outcome.

I've been WARNING about it, and at the same time preaching the importance of self reliance, self determination, liberty and responsibility. THAT'S the part I've "finally" accepted will never happen.

Poor Cassandra.

The story of Cassandra is one with which pretty much any level headed person can commiserate. Anyone who's ever said, "you know, I don't think poking that is such a good idea," or "you can't carry gasoline in a plastic cup!" I think we've all been there.

Would you have preferred I say "Poor Chicken-Little"?

I love Palin so much. Palin 2012.

Obama's got nothing on her. Who knew that Paul Revere warned the British that they weren't going to be taking away our guns, ringing bells and riding on his horse. Palin did.

He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells and making sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed.

Man, that is worse than my posts. Even the ones where I take 3 support calls, and get a cup of coffee while writing it.

Wait, if GB is Cassandra, which god did he refuse to bang who then cursed him with being unable to convince anyone of his prophecies? :confused:

At this point, it's entirely moot. When it comes to republicans vs democrats, it's like arguing about who gets to be pilot when the wings have already buckled. It's now just basically a contest of who can raise the most money to get elected to make sure money gets spent on the people who gave them money. America is sleepwalking through existence, caring more about which sportsball team is going to win the big trophy, or which celebutante got arrested on a drunken rampage, or who's eliminated next on The Amazing Asinine Dramatic Music Reality Show. The great experiment has failed. I've finally come to accept that, despite my own wish for liberty and responsibility, humanity at large is suitable for nothing more than to be the blind fodder workforce of a driven, focused despot. Most people are too stupid for self determination, and it is the responsibility of those few who are not to utilize those who are in the most effective way possible.

So why not use your second amendment rights and blow a hole through your head to dissociate yourself from the "pathetic" human race? Better yet, hope a plane live in Somalia where Libertarian based law rules the day...

I don't mean to be mean, but what a sad existence you lead if that's your encompassing mentality. Buddy, I kinda feel sorry for you.

Just because I don't think the human race is geared toward liberty and self-reliance doesn't mean I still can't be. It's just I've had a change in perspective in what constitutes natural and expected from everybody else. I used to argue from a point of view that went "well, of course everybody would rather be self-reliant and responsible." Now, I don't so much any more.

That hasn't been true since the Microwave was invented. (ie, 70's flower power, etc)

Tragically, many misinterpreted the call to "tune in, turn on, and drop out":

"Turn on" meant go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. Become sensitive to the many and various levels of consciousness and the specific triggers that engage them. Drugs were one way to accomplish this end. "Tune in" meant interact harmoniously with the world around you - externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives. "Drop out" suggested an active, selective, graceful process of detachment from involuntary or unconscious commitments. "Drop Out" meant self-reliance, a discovery of one's singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily my explanations of this sequence of personal development were often misinterpreted to mean "Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity"

Yeah, if people where actually capable of that kinda of stuff communism would actually be the best type of socio-political arrangement. And we'd all be blue and very tiny, and there would only be one female.

We'd be a gay Swedish stag party who locked themselves out during a dip in the lake in mid-January?
