She's a liar and that post really struck a nerve with me. To have to live with that was one of the defining moments in my life. Thank goodness there was no internet back then or I might have turned out to be a much angrier person than I am now.
I was just a teen looking forward to an open society, albeit I was a nut too, but I wasn't stupid. I also had friends who were being shipped off to what started in South America to be endless wars in the middle east.
How dare they bring up the AIDS epidemic now. It's disgraceful...
How are we supposed to move forward as a society when all these fools want to bring us back to 1940?
And how they even sleep at night thinking the big bad boogy man is out to get them is beyond me. You want small government, then fine, void every social security check or medicare coverage that comes your way. Suck on lemon peels if it makes you feel better.
Go buy a horse and buggy because that's the only way you'll be able to navigate the crumbling roads and bridges.
Home school your children and see how that goes 20 years from now with a degree from MAGA U.
Electricity, fuck that, you don't need it, you can chop down all the wood you need and work by fire light.
Food, water? C'mon there's a stagnant pond on your property, you can raise your own livestock and farm your own vegetables also. Hope there's no drought or floods that could devastate you.
Fires? put it out yourself. Police? call someone who cares. Are you in need of medical assistance? too fucking bad, try some citrus peel punch.
Internet? what's that? Haven't you fashioned an old HAM radio into a supercomputer by now that you are able to run by firelight?
Your guns? Don't you have a blacksmith shop where you can mine your own metals and make your own weapons and ammunition?
Sure, let's take it all away and see how long we last. I'm game. I'll just pick up and move to another country and let the have nots sort it all out.
