yeah but, do you you ever wonder what it'd be like locking up the most aware, connected, informed, concerned 8 million americans with each other for company?

leaving a nation deprived of their brainpower, leaving it to the nutjobs, the nutjobs and the other kinds of nutjobs?

completely boggles the mind...

8 million is a lot of people

obama's gonna sort it.

if america gives obama the presidency, i bet it's the first time any nation's leader has shared two out of three names with two leaders of nations/forces presently at war with the voters' nation!

truth, odder than friction...

There is no imprinting so deep as having a machine gun pointed in your face while you're in bed, where you tend to wake up at the highest level of fight or flight possible.  Being taken away from your life by the stupidest of people is not necessarily the best way to get ahead in the world.  It pissed me off no end.

Apparently, i survived.

If the events to which you refer are matters of public record, please give me a link.  If you are at liberty to discuss I am all ears.
