ORIGINAL: MrRodgers With all due respect Doc, Leicester City plays soccer which is a team sport and won with hustle, determination and a display of talent. It is truly unfortunate that one simply can't win the presidency the same way. Plus, while I view T8'r problems here as simply not being able to tell us what he knows (or thinks) because of his seemingly innate inability to fully articulate his ideas, he is /snip Over the years I have gotten the idea that I assume too much knowledge on the part of the reader. Things I consider common knowledge are not all that common I guess. Like if I mention the Monsanto protection law, how many here know what I am talking about and how many would have to Google it, or even make me post a link ? If I mention parts of USC, UCC or Trading With The Enemy Act I can understand people not knowing shit about it. But things that should be common knowledge are not, like common sense, not so common anymore. Some people do not even know if they are leasing or buying their car, let alone the difference between a certificate of title and a manufacturer statement of origin. I assume too much but you know I can only type so much. Eyestrain is bad. Really bad. And really, people posting about politics should know law, and real history, like WHY things happened. You know I cannot find one instance since WW2 where the US didn't create its own problems with another country. Can you ? Name any country that goes against the US and I can find the real reason for it. Even Pearl Harbor, the US committed the first act of war. They decided to escalate it, which was stupid, but those facts remain. And nobody knows, they think it was just out of the blue. I assume too much, maybe I should just shut the fuck up. Sometimes it is like trying to teach calculus to people who can't add and subtract. And about that little room, I know that is folklore and there is no proof. It is also a bit of a metaphor. That little room is wherever he goes for four years. He is told. His advisors will tell him what to do, but more importantly what not to do. Like "If you do that, they will ...". And usually they are right. And the fact is, if a President wanted to regulate banks by EO, or cut off aid to certain countries, he would be joining JFK. And congress will never put anything on his desk the lobbyists don't approve. (or actually write) I am done, do with the planet what you want. I no longer eat right, I drink way too much now and don't even get drunk. I stopped cigarettes buy now smoke enough other to make up for it. In short, I want out. I am going to enjoy every minute of it. I will not go to a doctor ever again except for like a broken bone or something like that. I am done. This world is not like it used to be and there is no going back. I have wracked my brain to even think of a solution, whether I can apply it or not, and come up short. I can't stand people, I don't go to bars anymore. I can't stand new music, even hillbilly music and that's bad, I can't stand any of the new TV shows or movies. So you all take this planet and do whatever you want with it. But I do reserve the right to comment on it. :-) T^T
