Mongoose @ 56:

They are immoral and insane at the same time.

Not quite but close. Having known evil in my life, I can tell you that the extreme immorality and depravity in the soul eventually drives them mad. I said elsewhere, look at their eyes when they do not know someone is watching.

Also from your post at 52:

Women do not have near the power that you attribute to them.

Yes, they do. When the men are not coming home in one piece or are having troubles because they are doing the wrong things like not supporting their families, the women put the hammer down. Read Peters on this. The women decide when the conflict is over. Trust it.

Aaron @ 80: In reference to the “Monetization Uncovered” link/article – Is this part of the confluence of the perfect storm? Or is it part of The 0bamanation’s plan for collapse?

Tarnsman @ 83:

Such a system is downright evil.

But this is the logical final stage of the system that started with ‘the woman’s right to privacy’ argument and culminated in the Roe vs. Wade abortion ruling. The proponent of the original argument, M. Sanger Harris, was a supporter of eugenics. The eugenicists made just these arguments – that humankind was perfectable by means of social tinkering. The last appearance of this belief system did not turn out so well. 50 to 70 million dead.

The lesson of the movie “Serenity” was the Browncoats had fought against the Alliance. That Alliance had done things at the planet Miranda that sound strangely like things eugenicists would do – try and perfect the human.

From the IMDB
site synopsis:

The recording reveals the Alliance put chemicals into the air processors on Miranda to stabilize the population’s behavior. It worked too well. Almost everyone stopped doing anything to live and died. A fractional percentage, however, had a drastically different response to the chemical: they became insanely violent and aggressive. The crew realizes this damaged and dangerous remnant of Miranda’s inhabitants are the Reavers.

RAH @ 27:

People have been sensing dangerous times for some time and arming up. They may not know why they needed to but they felt the need.

Mmmmm, close but maybe not quite. All the folks I know have been arming up just because we sensed that this could happen and do not want to get caught flatfooted. We knew exactly who and what The 0bamanation was and what he was capable of doing. There is legislation moving through Congress right now that has nothing less than the goal of subverting the 2nd Amendment. H.R.45 – Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009

If the response of the current administration of The 0bamanation to the townhalls is to rough up and get violent with citizens upholding thier right to free speech the reaction cna and will be very unpredictable. Whiskey, Mongoos and others have made great points and I cannot really say much else.
