I guess I take issue with the fact that you can’t realistically opt out. Maybe if you are a wilderness survivalist type then maybe you can go do a Thoreau or Davy Crocket or whatever and just build a log cabin in the woods somewhere. But that’s very rare these days, and society is moving forward so fast that tens of millions of people are being left behind because they lack the technical skills to thrive in a modern economy, and the survival skills to thrive in an old school agrarian economy. When that many people are left behind, it becomes a major social problem that’ll come home to roost eventually.

I agree and accept your judgment. I’m not optimistic about the future of this country; at this point my only hope is that we don’t take the rest of the world down with us.

I literally saw it three or four posts lower and recognized the name. I didn’t go through their history stalking them.

Give me a break and stop huffing your own farts please.

Really classy.
