Trying to connect eugenics to military preparedness is something that would have made Adolfs chest swell with pride.

Is that another general statement that encompasses everyone or directed at me personally?

I've been very vocal about my feelings regarding welfare & all the lazy bastards that suck at the tit of the taxpayer.

Because we are in a bad place as a nation. I don't like this path.

Quote:"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."

I sometimes think I may not vote at all, the only thing that keeps that from being a firm decision right now is that I'm one of those people who think if you don't vote you don't get to complain. STFU.

If you think the electoral system is broken to the point that it's incapable of producing outcomes representative of the general interests of our nation, you have no reason to regret choosing not to participate in it.

If all people who felt that way were to stop participating, it would quickly become apparent that it is an illegitimate institution.

You don't seem to understand corruption loves being ignored, that is how we have gotten where we are today.

We have no power to remove,replace or even censure our elected representatives.

The electoral college is a dinosaur that has out lived its purpose.

We have the technology to vote from our living rooms and each vote be counted as was intended.

Giving up the right to vote is exactly what a corrupt government wants history says so as does any country that is now controlled by a dictator the people are silent lest they dissappear in the middle of the night..

Don't mind me, I'm just an idiot who comments on subjects I'm incapable of discussing intelligently.
