Morning Kawilt,
Burning Daylight eh? Im going have to agree with our omni-present dilemma with the dominant two-party system.
But unlike the passionate and controversial lt. Col Gritz I dont see a conspiracy..just a helluva lot of greed and enormous thirst for power.Strange thing that "Power" eh? "absolute power corrupts absolutely"? Im sure it would if one or the other ever gained it.
Ill have to leave the question of whats different or what can you do to the boys at "Big Data" the powerhouse think tanks.
I dont know where we,as a nation and society are headed as those in power wont ever own up to their true agendas nor accept responsibility for greed,corruption and a new type of slanderous propaganda.
They point a finger elsewhere when the heat is headed their way. Currently we are a minor but newsworthy distraction it would seem.
Blaming,blaming,blaming. But never solving!
Every war has its disillusioned vets. Especially when you get 6 different colored "agents" dumped on your head..all carcinogenic!! e.g. agents orange ,green,red,yellow,pink and the only one able to kill the very hardy Vietnamese rice plant..agent blue. Courtesy of Monsanto.
Perhaps the largest mass-murdering entity next to the Third Reich and Union Carbide!!
What changes? one may ask? well as I see it..the orders of magnitude of increase in body counts from both civilized and not-so-civilized civilizations.
After a particularly shall we say "stressful" and in my mind costly battle that lasted darn near two months, I heard a second lieutenant proclaim the ISAF losses as "acceptable" of course he'd arrived only four days prior,thus missing out on the majority of the fun. I didnt get all pissed like in the movies, instead I puked!
Thats,perhaps, is what our leaders say as one of us drops out of the race,as it were. I could be wrong..but Im not.
Its a head-scratcher alright!
Maybe I'll become a "Prepper" and order my end-of society underground offensive/defensive bunker complete with its own deep aquifer,pressure-water reactor and a 30 mike-mike GAU/8 Avenger gattling cannon!!
Load up the supplies,my home gym,an ass-load of BioLogicPharma gear, grab the wife and wait until I can"see my shadow" again! hahaha!
Nothing changes if nothing changes. Right?
Keep it cool kawilt,
With a heavy heart....Goose
