Like I said, in a country of over 300 million people, it is shocking that those two are the best you could come up with. And what is even more shocking is that all those people voted for them and supported them as the candidates. Your entire political system is broken.
That's what I've been saying since 2000 and I was ridiculed.
Have you ever posted on ATF, SteelCrysis? It's like a den of trolls. Ridicule happens over there all the time.
If you're referring to me and my views on Dave's "revolution coming, the poor are going to behead anyone they deem rich and play dodgeball with their heads" malarkey, I stand by them.
Most people aren't cold blooded killers that can say, "Sorry Bill, should have paid me more to run that drill press. Now I have to play dodgeball with your head".
Most people have families/dependents to care for as well. "I dunno what's gonna happen Mabel, but Joe Flotsky says once we play dodgeball with a few heads the other rich guys will give us their loot and then WE'LL be the rich guys!" has to be tempered with, "Hmmm that $800 I have in the bank for a rainy day won't go far if my job closes down for a while until Joe sorts out how to run the whole business. He's pretty smart bein' the line foreman and all, but I don't know if he's ever done any marketing, kept the network running, used most of the software, done the accounting, or any of that other stuff.".
Our country would fall into a shambles of anarchy and poverty if the poor ran the show. They're not poor because they're masters of technology and international business, they're poor because they lack the skills to run the show.
Myself included in the above. I have two bachelors degrees and some bush league tech skills (CIO buddy says I sell myself short in this opinion, but I'm smart enough to know my limitations) and I'd be fucked.
We all depend on each other, (some of) the poor are just too dense to realize this.
