Not at all.  Technically our land in Argentina is in my wife's name.  And AK parts are flipping expensive these days.  AR parts the thing to buy.

See? Calling Spicey paranoid is totally unjustified.

Pfft.  He doesn't even seem to have a bunker.   :rolleyes:  He's prepared for nothing.

Sometimes I think it's just that we are an agressive uppity monkey species who are instinctivily start stearing up shit when things are calm.

So eventually one of these fully insane parties is going to seize power in some major first world nation right? I wonder who gets the boobie prize. The Republicans seem closest since they control both the House and Senate but if their fringe completely takes over can they keep that up? We'll see.

Prosperity seems to drive us insane. See: the western world in the early 1910s and 1960s. Weird.

Not at all.  It is just that satisfaction of basic needs allows people to spend effort countering less existential problems.  People never run out of problems, they only run out of attention span.

It is also something that is lovingly modeled in Vic2. :)

Interesting stuff, good article, and yes the right is tearing itself apart in this election cycle.

Yeah well Ank has basically called me everything from a traitor to a subhuman monster for daring to support a candidate with slightly different policies than his so we will see how long the left holds together :lol:

His descent into paranoia and hyperbole has been difficult to watch.
