I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if stumpy-fingered tribblemonkey Donald Drumpf started bragging: "Look at all of the icebergs that I have created. I have the best icebergs. No, don't look at those Russians! I'm giving everybody an iceberg to replace their existing healthcare plans. I'm going to build a great wall of icebergs on the Mexico border, and Mexico will play for the icebergs. I'm going to make sure that every American is living on a big, beautiful iceberg. Pay no attention to that Russian behind the curtain! Icebergs are a winning policy. There will be so many icebergs and so much winning, it will be tremendous. Believe me."
"[Drumpf's] name alone creates division and anger, whose words inspire dissension and hatred, and can't possibly 'Make America Great Again.'" --Kobe Bryant (1978-2020)

Paging Captain Smith, Paging Captain Smith, Captain please pick up the white courtesy phone for message from the radio room
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
