Bernie was right. If we had had it a generation ago, we wouldn't be in this mess today.

Did you have the same moment of reflection when a former 'community organizer' became president?
Now I know that yes, Virginia, there ARE people just that mind-achingly stupid...
As much as I am committed to remaining nice, regardless of the situation, and at the risk of presenting anything which might be taken as an insult, can I assume that you consider your level of intelligence in elevation of mine?
... that self-centered, that unbelievably obtuse, and that much in love with their own fantasies.
I am the first one to wish for all things to be as they appear.
I really did not want to find out our government could not be trusted.
I watched those heroes land on the moon, and reveled in the mastery of yet another obstacle presented by the elements.
Not really the kind of person who goes out his way to invite censure, ridicule if at all possible.
But...
I am also not the kind of person to keep his mouth shut when he probably should when I see math which doesn't add up.
I have been asking this community--- anyone and everyone within playtheimmortalgame who frequents the forums to PLEASE prove my position wrong... for nearly two years--- to show me I am full of crap.
Not trying to lay the blame on anyone, but no one has been able to, other than to CLAIM I am full of the stuff.
Nothing would bring me more relief than to rejoin the herd, bask in the glow of 'all on the same page' communal circlejerking.
Yet no one herein has been able to erase the realities of simple math.
I've asked.
So thank you for giving me solid proof that the state of mind of the average American is far worse than I gave us credit for.
Your encouragement should be along the lines of knowing that of all the people in your periphery, there still exist a few who refuse to unquestioningly accept the official narrative, the state's talking points of belief, that some people will only accept what can be conclusively proven with sufficient proof.
