The current Republican race is a real blow to this worldview ...  :hmm:

Hey! We have a highly democratic de-centralized system that is predicated on serving the local communities. So...yeah.

I pay attention to US politics.  I knew about some of their policy positions.  But to actually hear them articulate their views is another matter.  I knew some of them are pro-guns, which isn't an entirely unreasonable position.  I can imagine situations where there are legitimate reasons why it is necessary for civilians to have guns.  The years of reading languish have not however prepared me for bizarre statements like if only the Jews had guns there would be no Holocaust.  That is completely outside the realm of rational discussion.  Now, lots of people hold odd views, myself included.  The truly shocking moment is when I heard that the people who hold these views are front runners in the Republican race... :hmm:

Monobot is a bit tiresome.

Both post-Tea Party Republican Primaries have had this dynamic. Romney had to say very extreme and absurd things to win in 2012.

I just checked Ted Cruz's wiki page.  He did study at Princeton and Harvard.  So at least the superior interlect part is true  :sleep:

I'd love to get a job with Parks Canada.  Alas, I don't think I could get a preferential citizenship review for that line of work. :(

A communist cesspool that it is only wealthy because of the natural resources available. Like Russia, but in english.

Meowtf?

Cape Breton isn't wealthy at all.  It has no natural resources left - the fish are fished out, the coal long ago mined out.

He's talking about Canada as a whole I think.  It's stupid, I know.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
